National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC)

[recyclecongress]

AND.... big brother will know your EVERY MOVE ON THE INTERNET. Value your free speech rights? Big brother ALSO knows everything you TYPE... every forum....every email....every everything. Disgusted with fascist government? Oh, we have your I.D. number! And maybe YOU will end up in one of the growing FEMA camps that are now being STAFFED! NO BIG BROTHER TAKEOVER OF OUR INTERNET FREEDOM! This is about curbing & eventually CONTROLLING the free speech that 'they' consider THOUGHT CRIMES!

[allmyfriends4130]

NO! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!! Even if it starts off as voluntary, it will inevitably be abused by the Govt. etc. This is a terrible idea.

[publicanimal]

My inner lie detector went haywire when she said "there is no central database". This is terrifying.

[joinProfusionEx]

DO NOT DO THIS.

[aklambet]

for all of the people that are saying no government, no government- one, id like to know how much you actually know about the way government functions, i.e how many degress you have in this field, and two whats your plan then if were not gonna have governmnet? how do you plan to maintain safety and security? u cant just say no government if you dont have an alternative plan that would actually work.

[globalstagesystems]

This technology is based on a patent application by Global Stage Systems. We are trying to be the company to bring this technology to market. As the inventor we have the know how to keep the Government and others from accessing this information without the persons permission.

[hugoalexandre]

This is the reason why there has been so many "security breaches" lately. All of them perpetrated by the US GOVERNMENT in order to manufacture consent for this system.

[gymnastgurl814]

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!

[lumeriam]

CONCERNED!? GO STRAIGHT TO THAT PLACE YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE HERE TO EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET!

[lushfauna]

what a pack of lies. they said the same thing about social sercurity numbers.

Anything Gov is bad

[KaishiReed]

@usnistgov

So how is this any different than using a single password for everything? Although your "trusted identity" will be made up of more than a mere word.. what exactly makes you guys think that it's invulnerable to theft?

Wasn't it already proven over and over many times that electronic data can be stolen with a mere pocket swipe?

[elmuerte17]

Neat, make yourself more secure by adding another point of access for hackers to get into, that has ALL your data and access to ALL your "secured" sites. This'll be hacked days, if not hours, after release...

[BanJobe1]

Fact of the matter is that the internet is not, at its sole, an economic tool. It is a tool of communication . This is dangerous

[marracotube]

As soon as his use is extended, they will lobby congress to make it obligatory. Then we all will be servants of the system owners.

[marracotube]

This sound EXACTLY as a 1984 kind of movie.

It even looks cut-pasted from Doom 3.

[shamusl]

This should never, ever be implemented. This will be the end of the web entirely.

[croaw123]

Good bye freedom, this masquerades under the pretense of safety and is really a loss of freedom.

[NJMSamu]

Is that Bit from Tron?

[Bokanet]

NO

[rg0057]

Identity is never voluntary. If it's available, it will become required for some things, and then everything.

At the same time, identity on the net is impossible. When you get down to 0s and 1s, it could be anyone. It's a fact.

A single point of failure (e.g. an ID) guarantees that failure will be big when it happens.

Lack of an official central database doesn't mean that several databases won't be joined. It already happens.

This is a solution, without a problem. Or with too many.

[Task5003]

LolAmerica. Bye-bye, anonymity!

[itecoz]

papers please

[A5J4DX]

so an internet passport? no thnx

[workingclasssociety]

No way. No way No way.

Government, get out of my life!

Revolt!

[MrUtoobtroll]

Laying groundwork for government abuse. GREAT IDEA! ಠ_ಠ

[Zippomon]

Oh good... so when the private company gets hacked, -everything- I do and own is revealed. Excellent. No thanks.

It's bad enough that companies have as much information on me as they do... this would be handing a corporation my entire life.

[TheConstitutionMan]

Give the government a temporary power - it always, always, ALWAYS becomes permanent and mandatory!!!!

[phiberoptick]

It wont be secure, no way no how. EVERY piece of tech can be hacked. Everything can be hacked. EVERY THING CAN BE HACKED

E V E R Y T H I N G C A N B E  H A C K E D...

Just ask captain crunch about that...

[kyle7412]

the US government giving in to the corporations again.... *sigh*

[eiffuy]

And the answer is "NO"

[Boomer1941]

More LIES and DECEPTION!!!

[nosferotica1]

Lifelock already exists, right? Do we really need a government agency doing this sort of thing?

[wickedwaysrecording]

WOW 1984 IS HERE PEOPLE

[Antievery1]

NO!

[afc0ne]

I will FIGHT to keep AMERICA Free, till my last dying breath, You can Keep your propaganda/ public relations. any one with half a brain knows that this data base is going to be the Biggest target on the net, It's not a question of IF it gets hacked but "when".

[njhth]

WANT TO END ID THEFT!? IT'S CALLED A FIREWALL , LEARN HOW TO GET & USE ONE!! WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE BUREAUCRATS CHECKING WHAT WE DO. IT'S OUR FREEDOM THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHER'S DIED FOR.

WHERE IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS SAID THAT THIS HAS TO BE MANDATED!

YOUR SUBLIMINAL PROPAGANDA WILL NOT WORK WITH ME!

[Tiqure]

Once those hackers find the single ID's password your screwed more than before. 

[samurai0031]

I hate to say it but no matter what the vote turns out to be...the beast is upon us! Nothing will stop their agenda. We've been bombarded with LIES every day since 1st grade! People wouldn't know the truth if it smacked them in the face. Those of us left after E(xtinction)L(evel)E(vent)N(ib­iru)I(s)N(ear) passes and were strong enough to survive the (slow kill) radiation will be chipped if they want to be part of the new world! Good Luck everyone...you'll need it!

[dnlxl]

Signed, Unhappy Customer - HAHA gotta laugh at that one

[dnlxl]

Disgusting.

[LimitlesPossibilitys]

That blue guy in the chair and the identity they are talking about does not represent a human being it represents a private corporation. THAT'S WHY THEY USE CAPITAL LETTERS. Look it up its called your "straw man"

[theavailablenamessuk]

I dont trust anything the government says. When have they ever gotten anything right? I think its just a way to track dissent and that kind of stuff down easier.

[LimitlesPossibilitys]

I can see something like this being a stepping stone to a RFID chip implanted in our body. This is a dangerous road to go down where all freedoms could be lost. It might be voluntary now but that how it starts until they trick enough people to go along with it and make it mandatory. EVIL SCHEMES MOVING ONE STEP AT A TIME SO YOU DON'T NOTICE! PAY ATTENTION

[mrpeanutbutter13]

@LimitlesPossibilitys It will never become legally mandatory, however, if no business or online retailer, bank, etc. excepts alternatives to the ID because it becomes popular and standardized, then it might as well be illegal not to have one, because it will be impossible to function without this ID.

[cuthred]

"There is no central database tracking your actions" Nice use of the present tense. Very shrewd. Also, your "credential" is? Let me guess, a fingerprint scan?

[cuthred]

Wow, 12 likes! Looks like your propaganda strategy is backfiring

[theclax2003]

After a few years of this will become deamnd and it will monopolize the internet! nternet SOCIALISM!! America is 3rd world now you all are slaves!

[fishslab]

The income tax started out as a voluntary system...now it's mandatory. The cyberid system is designed to extend the government's control over its citizens. Furthermore, this draconian system is nowhere authorized by the U.S. Constitution!

[usnistgov]

Contrary to a number of comments provided below, the identity ecosystem urged by NSTIC is completely voluntary for consumers and for business. Privacy is critical to free speech and a number of privacy and consumer advocates are actively engaged in the NSTIC process. Why? More than 8 million Americans are victims of identity theft and online fraud each year, costing them time and money.

[usnistgov]

NSTIC is a strategy for improving online security and increasing privacy by improving the way we prove who we are online for sensitive transactions like banking or medical care. It solves two problems: 1) passwords too often fail, and 2) there’s no good way to prove who you are in cyberspace.

[usnistgov]

That’s why we are bringing innovators, industry and consumer advocates together to create standards so that the marketplace can provide more innovative smart technologies to improve security for consumers and businesses who want more privacy and peace of mind. Consumers who opt to obtain one or more trusted IDs would only use them when they choose. They would still be able to surf the Internet anonymously or use a pseudonym.

[usnistgov]

We urge anyone concerned about NSTIC to read the full document here:

[TheZettabytetv]

@usnistgov and your method can't be hacked? i highly doubt it. if it is on a computer it CAN and most likely will get hacked.

[g0atzor]

@usnistgov

What kind of fool do you take me for? It's too late. The cat is out of the bag. Too many steps in the wrong direction most of the sleeping masses will awaken because they will recognize the truth that many of their friends have been telling them but have chosen to ignore or deny. You might get some hillbillies and very simple minded folk to go along with this but many are not the fools you believe them to be. They just haven't been pushed over the edge yet..

[Wiley4Change]

No thanks. Im happy just the way things are. If you forget your passsword or cant make one clever enough to keep from getting stolen then thats your problem.

[marco114]

Signin with Facebook works just fine... let's just stick with that.

[ninjapiratespy]

TERRIBLE!!!

[karloney]

Even a better method of the government tracking our every move

[andeporter]

So instead of many online IDs to steal, we want you to have one that we can steal? /fail

[theseekerwho]

Wake up...wake up...wake up...wake up

[andeporter]

So instead of having a broad range of usernames and passwords for hackers to steal, our government in their infinite wisdom wants to knock it down to one place the hackers will need to penetrate and then gain total control of our online identity,....genius. We all know how great government is at keeping their own secrets (see Bradley Manning)...let alone our secrets. Wake up people, there is NO light at the end of this tunnel, only more fascism.

[ideservehell4mysin]

Revelation 13

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

...

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

[spiritualemergency1]

The last was Soviet Communism now the latest totalitarianism US / Globalist style Electronic centralised Communism

[calumcoburn]

I choose 'other' - a microchip implanted between my eyes with a bar code across my forehead. Finally our banker overlords have a solution to all my password worries, how convenient! Yes, I trust the government as they are owned by central banking families, and they want good things for us like Eugenics population reduction, and they keep us safe with regular HAARP attacks. Where's that blue pill again?

[ilovegnomeland]

I'll take my chances with the hackers stealing my identity any day, before I'd give all my online/computer info to the federal government, especially when I'm considered an "extremist" by them just because I love the Constitution and think we should follow it. Can these goons just leave us alone?!!

[nottinmatterz2day]

Today it is voluntary, next week it is mandatory

[TrueChristianDOTcom]

Dear NSTIC, tell your Rothschild banking overlords that the cats out of the bag. Humanity as a whole is waking up and we will not be stopped. Humanity will be free of your death grip and through freedom we will enter a new renaissance without your leaches on our back!

[vtcpdx]

Mark of the beast. Try buying or selling without this "service" in the next 3 to 5 years. Arm yourselves, we will eventually have to use force to get our freedom back.

[grad1991ify]

ALL LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gunguy54]

Tgats how it starts. Just like social security.

[Taurusaud]

Why would the government be ANYWHERE near this project unless they intended to use it for their own selfish interest.

[uwmbigb]

1:10...or maybe personal chip. Just stop, its getting creepy...

[itsjustadamnedname]

I will volunteer to avoid this one thanks!

I am whoever I say I am, if I wasn't then why would I say I am? -Eminem

[kyler565]

internet ID = bad

[Krazykid163]

I find it funny that although theres 10,000 view and 93 dislikes, theres only 2 comments and the one is from the uploader...

[shawkka]

Welcome to the Police State.

[Herpout]

I don't trust a corporation or governement. Where I come from this is called Facism. When will you demand we take the mark on our forehead or arm?

[MrWwymd]

thanks for stopping by we will remove any comments we dont agree with

[SunnyLovetts]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[TheLexiconDevil]

Terrible idea. Would honestly trust a hacker more with my ID's than I would the government.

[louis12346]

we have it now My Space , twitter ?

[izlude2]

Here's the trick folks. By voluntary, they mean the business and not the end user. I saw the documentation in print.

Example: Say hotmail suddenly "volunteered" to be a part of this. Hotmail users like myself would be forced to use this system.. unless of course I ditched hotmail and went somewhere else. So in a sense, I guess you could say it's voluntary for the end user... that is if he/she is willing to put up with the system and continue to use hotmail.

[byteusa]

I think I'm sick of government. If people wanted this, there would be a market for it.

[riastradh2]

Ya I don't like this at all, I'm still annoyed we had to merge out gmail and youtube account.

[ToolFan68]

Here come Big Brother!!!

[spgdhami]

I wonder how many comments were dis-approved.

[spgdhami]

Another way of Big Brother watching you. No thanks!

[str8razer007]

There is no such thing as "voluntary" in the Federal Government...

Did you know income tax is voluntary?

Social Security?

Selective Service? (To be drafted)

The only thing that is truly voluntary is voting and it's so rigged that it doesn't matter who you pick! They've already chosen the 2 options for you! You can either choose Beef or Chicken NOT any of the myriad of fish, fowl, wild game, exotic meats, rabbit, or vegetarian!

[h100083]

It's so funny when the lady says' "there's no central database tracking your actions".

They think just because they say it, it makes them more trustworthy, give me a break.

[ResidentObama]

Let me be perfectly clear. Uhh, sure, you can uhhh... trust this. I'm from the government and I'm here to uhhh... uh, help... uhh, here to help you. Trust me.

[THEONETHEONLYEM21]

the new world order is not the way to go

[PTTurboe]

LOL - CIA written all over it....

[thecoolerstinger]

You are terrorists.

[eslake]

Big Brother at it again -- No form of transmitted data is secure from hacking.

The Only way to actually Prove it is You using the computer, is to go in Person and take a DNA test at the location you're trying to contact.

Don't fall for it people. It's just another excuse to dig into your private life in the name of "security" that you won't have.

[IRUSIpanzermaster]

why are you blocking comments that prove you wrong.!

[IRUSIpanzermaster]

If you are trying to improve the web you should know that 6 likes is one BIG FAIL. Stop turning the only free service in this world into more shit where government can say where you go or not.

[themeekshallrule]

This will only make identity theft that much easier for a hacker. All they need is your "trusted id" and they can completely destroy your life by gaining access to everything. It's actually much safer the way things are NOW, with different levels of security and different passwords for each account or service.

[NosoCOMINSOON]

Whenever a big company and especially big government suggest "it is for your safety or privacy" be prepared to give up your liberties and freedom.

[xMurkNx]

Epic fail

[themeekshallrule]

"There is no central database tracking your actions".

 Yeah, right.

[spiritualemergency1]

Thin Edge of The Totalitarian Wedge

[gomesbascoy]

"when you use teh Internets sometimes you want to be Anonymous"

[cdntechonline]

wow - go figure - Obama has decided to go the Microsoft route with the whole "license to use the internet thing" - leave it to microsoft to come up with a plan to license the most absurd concepts on the planet.

[thexdeadxone]

I thought privacy was a human right. If someone's intelligent and bored enough to figure out my information to log into a website then so be it, I shouldn't have made it that easy, simple as that. And don't forget that not all websites even require or encourage a login. The more I hear of these ridiculous new strict internet policies looming over us, the more I imagine the US is copying ideas from China's ridiculous internet censorship. I refuse to live in a police state. Dislike.

[TarlanT]

Finally! Government is one step away from Digital Signature.

Embed that in Real ID/US Passport chip, and that's it.

That would make life 100 times easier.

[Ayoiuy]

This will only server to freeze freedom of speech. If you know the Government is watching you, will you go against them?

[Wixxos]

Tbh i believe this will improof anonimity. If nothing more can be verified than your identity, a lot of personal info will be safe. With a system like that it will be very suspicious for a login system to request more info than is required.

When it comes to security a design with a third, trusted, verification party is the only viable one. A third party during verification makes it harder for viruses on a local system to take control of your transactions.

[MicroHive]

How would this prevent thieves from simply sniffing your key? Wouldn't that give them even more power?

[hurrdurrmurrgurr]

And those private companies can use my id to track how many times I shop and use me as free marketing data.

[Riddlerx333x]

*NIST* c'mon guys do you really think the general public will fall for this?

The public is getting even more distrusting with government daily (TSA, Politicians etc.)

My question is who benefits out of this the general public>? or Federal agencies?

My answer is federal agencies.....I really dont believe that this is will help "secure" peoples identities....kinda like I dont believe we went to Libya for humanitarian reasons.

[venuecam]

Brought to you by the same clan that did such a bang-up (sorry) job on the WTC towers re: NINE/ELEVEN.

I think we should be a little disturbed.

[DuridPid]

No, go away, we aren't using it.

[everythingstands]

The desire has been around for a while, the problem is people think they can use bday years etc by themselves and they are good to go with a password. It really is no one else's problem if you don't want to learn what passwords mean and how they can be your privacy downfall.

If it would stay voluntary then to each their own but it has government included and the last thing I want is more government involved with anything else at all. They will mutate it then force it.

[kwvideo]

Aren't companies already doing this with oAuth and OpenID open standards?

[roho76]

Until your ID gets cloned and used by others. I don't trust this not because I'm resisting advancing technology but because I don't trust the government control of the Internet. The Internet is where it is because of lack of government intervention. Let's not screw that up now.

[charlieok]

They are just developing technology standards, people. Sites can use whatever technology standards they like. The point is to reach a consensus so that sites can interoperate.

[fstemp]

This is not a Government concern. There are already companies out there that provide this kind of service without government intervention. WoW (World of Warcraft) already had RSA keys or an iPhone app to secure you use to login to you game account. Banks offer this a swell. "There's no central database..." What a joke, just look at how cable and sat TV providers track you viewing and surfing history to gorilla market you. Heck, take Google, need more be said? Balance the budget not this!

[fvox13]

This seems a little.... doubleplusungood for my tastes.

[progress200]

"voluntary system". I find this very hard to believe. We already see sites demanding for personal information when it is clearly not needed (gmail).

What next? Trusted computers?

This is a threat to anonymity if anything.

[sprocore]

@progress200 I agree entirely, also, the way that I see this panning out is: system cracked within the first week, hacker witch-hunt begins again with a newly intensified fervour.

And "no central database tracking your actions"? I think that's just as likely as TSA body scanners not saving pictures. As it currently stands, I will neither trust nor support this system.

[goodinohio]

@progress200 It will be "voluntary", if you don't volunteer you'll be locked out of 90% of websites and labeled a possible terrorist for not volunteering.

[fireriver29]

@progress200

Remember when vaccines were voluntary? Then became mandatory at the work place, at schools, for public workers. Slick aren't they?

[usnistgov]

Thanks for checking out our videos. Please add your comments and let us know what you think. We will be reviewing and then posting comments as long as they are on topic, respectful and do not promote specific products or services.

[Riddlerx333x]

@usnistgov I love it how your administrator is "selecting" comments

cant wait for some troll to post a positive comment and your "people" will click the "like" function a billion times.

What are you guys doing on Youtube anyway? Go away! we dont want you here! its creepy enough you guys know my ip address and SSA.

Less government NOT MORE!
