Obama administration unveils online ID system (but insists it’s not a Big Brother plan to snoop on Internet users)

A plan to create a national online identity system was launched today to help combat cyber crime.

Commerce Secretary Gary Locke claimed the move will protect Internet consumers from fraud and identity theft.

Unveiling the scheme, he insisted the cyber ID was not a Big Brother plan by the government to snoop on web users.

Big Brother? Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, pictured here with Obama, claims the move will protect Internet consumers from fraud and identity theft

National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace is voluntary, but IT experts believe it is inevitable that users will have one ID for transactions in the future

Mr Locke said it would mean people would no longer have to remember a variety of different passwords to do business and social networking online.

He claims that the current system of half-remembered passwords jotted down on post it notes and based on pets and mother’s maiden names is not enough.
