Wouldn't it be great to have a programmatic way to present data online? To have digital credentials to prove something about yourself, akin to a digital drivers licence? To not fear identity theft due to the compromise of your personal information such as your mother's maiden name, your social security number, or other "shared secrets"? Sxip's founder and CEO Dick Hardt discusses these and other Identity 2.0 issues in the first of a two part podcast on the Command Line. In this 20 minute segment, Dick explains how he moved from programming tools to identity services, he defines some terms, and he starts discussing how these new tools interact with and enhance privacy online.
