What we are talking about is enhancing online security and  privacy and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a  dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital  identities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Schmidt added that his office will work with the Department of Homeland  Security and the General Services Administration to implement the  Internet ID strategy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Newsmax.
