Just
think of the example we made in the section ???Justi?¬?able Parties???
concerning government tracking of electronic ID usage. Some
will accept this unconditionally, and some will push back so
hard that merchants will have to adopt different technologies for
meeting user??™s privacy demands to remain in business.
Handling such a diverse mix of tendencies requirespluralism of
operator offerings and technologies available. An identity management
scheme that aspires to be the universal authentication
system cannot fail to take the situation into consideration.
Embracing and accommodating existing and future technologies
is the only way to achieve the goal.
In the section ???The Identity Metasystem??? we describe a natural
solution to the dilemma.
Human Integration
The universal Identity Metasystem must de?¬?ne the human
user to be a component of the distributed system
integrated through unambiguous human-machine communication
mechanisms offering protection against identity
attacks.
??”The Laws of Identity, Cameron, 2005
Chapter 1, and speci?¬?cally the section ???The Babel of Web User
Interfaces,??? described the inadequacies of current practices in
making the user understand what is going on during the authentication
process.
