You forgot these two: If everybody has one certified identity, a) How do you protect it? Both "private key stored on the computer" and "password sent to the certifying system" aren't very secure if the user's computer is one of the 150 million compromised systems. Other systems, like smart cards, assume that standardized smart card readers are ubiquitous... b) What recourse does somebody have if their certified identity is stolen? Oh, I forgot - this is a "Strategy" and they have no fscking clue how they'll make it work....
