Randall Stross writes in the Aug 8, 2008 NYT that passwords and password-based login to OpenID is inherently insecure, and should be replaced by Information Cards. Parity's CEO, Paul Trevithic rebuts, noting that both OpenID and Information Cards have some shortcomings, but could be a powerful solution if combined.

Bringing Parity to the Web Experience

Ever wonder why we still spend time filling in web forms and remembering passwords? First name? Address? Seating preference? Has any of this information changed since the last time you typed it in? So why repeat yourself?

i-cards by ParityThe truth is this: We live in a site-centric web, not a people-centric web.

That's just wrong. You should control everything: Manage your own information and decide who gets to see it. "Click-in" to web sites without passwords. Update your profile in one place instead of a hundred. Be anonymous. Be known. Bring your identity and your friends with you - wherever you go online. Our goal is to stop the madness and make the web bend around you.

We're doing this by building the I-Card Ecosystem. We're building open-source code through the Higgins Project. We're promoting standards and adoption through the Information Card Foundation. We're enabling business to issue and consume I-cards through our JumpStart program. And we're bringing a secure, easy-to-use on-line I-Card wallet to consumers through our Azigo service. We're Parity, the I-Card company!
