A resource page on identification/authentication is at http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/06/id_resources.html. Your readers are familiar with the “digital divide,” where life is quite different for those with great broadband vs. those with limited or no access to computing. The idea of the “ID Divide” is that there are growing problems for those who face problems proving their identity -- over 20 million American adults lack government-issued photo ID; identity theft hits over 8 million people/year; and the no-fly list will go over 1 million names this year. The report grows out of a project at the Center for American Progress where we included experts from a wide range of areas affected by identification: national/homeland security; immigration; voting; online authentication; e-health records; computer security; privacy; and civil liberties. The goal was to help create a unified approach for addressing these issues. Thanks, Peter Prof. Peter P. Swire C.
