Hi doc,
I've been reading your recent entries on digital identity and related issues and I think it's great that you're focusing on such an important issue. I wonder, though, if you haven't missed a huge and important group who have been working on this for years. For the crypto people this is not new territory in the least. Check out a local Montreal company that made a big splash a couple of years ago called Zero Knowledge. I haven't kept track of exactly what they're up to now, but they had a product out there that was all about managing anonymity, pseudonymity and such in flexible, variable ways.

In fact, I think crypto is necessary to an ID and/or relationship infrastructure. I've just been trying to come at the subject from some new angles in addtion to ones that are already well-understood (e.g. crypto and privacy).
By the way, I wrote about Zero Knowledge a couple years ago here.

Very cool Doc. I think your refreshed approach is very interesting and important. It's too bad ZKS didn't ever make it work - that Cluetrain-esque vim and vigour has been gone for a while now. I met with the ZKS gang right around the blog entry you cited and it was gone even then, whereas earlier they were True Believers in the best sense of the word.
