Cross post to Paul Madsen's post " What does user-centric identity mean?"

Hi Paul,

Great post. This is an increasingly important discussion the industry and the public need to have in an open forum. I have been researching digital identity and privacy for the past several years and have started to "compile" my thoughts into a clear vision for my latest startup, Falkin Systems LLC, an "incubated" company from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in NYC, where I also lecture graduate and undergraduate studies in electrical/computer engineering. Please find a recent post I put on my blog robmarano.blogspot.com
called "Names, Traits, and Trails." I have not updated it for a while since we are in "stealth" mode for our product, but I plan on blogging on our efforts in the SAEG... I'd look forward to "merging" our thoughts on digital identity and privacy, starting first with interoperability and ease of use for users to "control" their personal, sensitive information. Have a look at my excerpt below and pay attention to my clear distinction to static and dynamic identities and how privacy and control may pertain. The latter I am still working on....

I hope that this and future blog entries of mine help in our LAP initiatives. I have several interns at The Cooper Union that have been working with me on this very issue; I started the NY Digital Identity Meetup, having them lead some of the discussions. My "team" is ready, willing and able to assist and share our work...

Warmest regards,
