Verizon, Criterion and partners will soon test the feasibility of using one very secure user-name and password combo for the whole of the Internet. Verizon, Criterion Systems, and other online identity and technology companies are teaming up to test whether consumers might trust a single, highly secure user-password combination for all of their online accounts. A White House-launched initiative called the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace has awarded Verizon and its partners a federal grant with which to run pilot tests over the next two years to determine the feasibility of using “trust elevation” tactics to establish online credentials.
