> Bootstrapping identity is a very hard problem Oh come on. Bootstrapping <anything> is hard. Identity isn't special. When bootstrapping, you base initial migration work off of existing systems, until you reach critical mass and the adaptation on top of existing systems are no longer relevant or necessary. You might as well argue that passports are worthless because it's not that theoretically difficult to fake the foundations of identity to a good enough level in order to get a genuine passport. As long as passports are unique-enough (no two people are identified by the same passport), they're good enough. And so is any other system which succeeds at consistently identifying the same person.
