You have full control of your (Web and Internet) Identity when the following hold true: 1. You control the Identifiers that denote You 2. You control the Identity Cards that Describe You 3. You control the location of Identity Cards that Describe You 4. You control the Signature used to verify You 5. You control the control how Data is encoded for You 6. You control the ACL and Access policies for accessing stuff created by You 6. You can achieve all of the above from any platform You choose. Look, the architecture of the World Wide Web wasn't built for any particular industry. It was built to empower You! I notice you still don't send signed emails, why? I don't believe that has anything to do with a particular industry, or does it? :-) -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter Profile: https://twitter.com/kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/+KingsleyIdehen/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
