If that is true, why not throw things into some P2P cryptographically secure user account system like this[1] (disclaimer: ours).
From a technology perspective, it is non-trivial for corps/companies to do this (since they don't value that). But the technology to do it already exists, so if laws are forcing people this direction, what is the best way to market the availability of systems like this?
Any thoughts/clues? Thanks!

- anomie31 9y agoThat's a good idea, but if I were a German citizen I'd rather they use something that's tried and true like shibboleth. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but shibboleth is what most of America's colleges and universities use to allow students to access research material the institution has paid for. Something that isn't obvious though, is anyone can setup a shibboleth identity provider, the only difference being that it's not on the whitelists that academic identity providers are on.
- closeparen 9y agoThe general term for this property is “federated identity” and academia is probably the most mature and widespread implementation - academic institutions regularly allow visitors from other institutions to use their home institution’s credentials, for example in the worldwide “eduroam” WiFi network.
