Federated identity management (FIM) enables a user to authenticate once and access privileged information across disparate domains. FIM�s proponents, who see the technology as providing security and ease of use, include governments and leaders in the IT industry. Indeed, a cornerstone of the current U.S. government�s efforts to secure cyberspace is its �National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace� (U.S. Department of Commerce, 2011). Yet adoption of federated identity management systems has been slow.
Seems to me that google and wordpress are the chief providers of federated identity, and it also seems to me that whenever someone posts something seriously politically incorrect, google wants their real phone number, from which they can obtain their true identity, which will come in mighty handy for rounding up the troublemakers after Obama's 2016 re-election.
