The second article, dated November 8, 2010, and entitled "ID management's weakness: Few want to use it" states:
The administration’s strategy for identity management is expected to be finalized this winter. It is an effort to bring some order to the task of managing identities and personal information in an increasingly online world. … The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace has been under development for about a year as the result of the president’s Cyberspace Policy Review. One of the review’s recommendations was the “the federal government — in collaboration with industry and the civil liberties and privacy communities — should build a cybersecurity-based identity management vision and strategy for the nation that considers an array of approaches, including privacy-enhancing technologies.” A draft was released in June, and the final document is expected this winter.
