The author examines the debate about Microsoft's Passport technology--it will be difficult to design a workable Internet identity framework. We?re currently trapped between Scylla and Charybdis.

On the other, we have a chaotic morass of idiosyncratic user ID and password implementations that inconvenience people and invite attack.
