silicon.com: "ID Cards are not the answer..."

Simon Moores has written a thought-provoking piece in silicon.com on what he sees as the "technical, fiscal and civil liberties" flaws in the proposed UK ID Card system. He's not exactly in favour, but then if he were, you would probably wonder why I (of all people) was citing him here! My favourite quotation was this: Tomorrow's solution to today's identity crisis is not to be found embedded on a plastic card. It's a far greater problem which demands a much broader understanding by politicians of the context of personal identity in a rapidly widening 21st century information space. Simon Moores is managing director of Zentelligence Research and vice chairman of policy development for the Conservative Technology Forum. Read the whole piece here.

Interesting article, I agree with Simon, that's why most IT projects managed by the UK government have high failure rates, they have to listen to researchers, scientist and experts in Identity and authentication technologies, before starting this huge project of ID cards scheme. http://www.thebiometrix.com http://biometrix.blogspot.com
