①The Internet affords anonymity to its users,a blessing to privacy and freedom of speech.②But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cyber-crime that has 1 across the Web.
①Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3?
①Last month,Howard Schmidt,the nation’s cyber-czar,offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place—a"voluntary trusted identity"system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key,a fingerprint and a photo ID card,all rolled 6 one.②The system might use a smart identity card,or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer,and would authenticate users at a range of online services.
①The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems.②Users could 9 which system to join,and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems.③The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver’s license 10 by the government.
