As I’ve written before, there are reasons for preferring an identity and authentication infrastructure that is based on tamper-resistant hardware with local authentication rather than passive identification technologies, largely because it allow the individual control over multiple identities, which I regard as an important contribution to the “privacy settlement” that we are going to need to negotiate in the online future, so naturally I was pleased to see that some security experts at Google have come to the same conclusion, albeit a few years later.
