Internet security and identity verification on the web are big topics these days, so big that they’ve given rise to a new federal initiative, the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. The idea is to help protect users personal data, and to make it possible for banks and retaiels and the government to know for sure that people are who they say they are.
