If your private key is compromised (discovered by someone other than yourself) then it needs to be regenerated, whether it can be easily remembered or not. Getting a new key should be a huge pain in the ass, and the tests to prove that you are who you say you are should be strict.
Don't lose your key.
I wouldn't be opposed to a chip, but I doubt Americans are going to let that happen because they'll think big government is tracking them (which they already are, and a chip doesn't change that or expand their capabilities, but we're not talking about the most rational bunch here).

- craftyguy 9y agoDidn't they choose a proprietary solution? If so, sorry, but shame on them.
- drewbug 9y agoAn "identity implant" could expand tracking capabilities if each use of a reader recorded your location.
- orthecreedence 9y agoOh, I misread. I was thinking "chip" as in "chip and pin" (like an ID card). Implants would be kind of over the top. Not a fan of that idea.
