Partial DigitalMe answer

You will have to demand that this happen as a consumer.
You will have to tell the vendor that you only buy products from vendors that protect your identity against abuse.

Vignette and Edocs are very dangerous companies. After the very first massive compromise of ecommerce, (Just think the first internet terrorists will have novelty on their side.) the fallout will put them in the same category as those web sites that host hackers.

I for one feel the consumer has to demand identity security as a condition of doing business. IT's like CRTs. In the early 1980's they emitted xrays. Office workers were impacted. They complained. The Swedes then imposed a requirement on all monitors imported into Sweden that they meet low emission standards. The vendors balked and then led by IBM caved in rather than lose the business.Before very long the vendors began advertising how low their emissions were and how many standards they comply with!

Now consumers do not get a dose of radiation everytime they turn on their monitors.

Same thing with digitalme. It is the first low emission identity device on the internet market. Once it hits it will shake things up considerably.
