Background
The Association for Computing is an international professional society
whose
76,000 members (60,000 in the U.S.) represent a critical mass of
computer
scientists in education, industry, and government. USACM was
created by
ACM to provide a means for promoting dialogue on technology
policy issues
with U.S. policy makers and the general public. USACM
responds to requests
for information and technical expertise from U.S.
government agencies and
departments, seeks to influence relevant U.S.
government policies on behalf
of the computing community and the
public,and provides information to ACM
on relevant U.S. government activities.
USACM also identifies significant technical
and public policy issues
and brings them to the attention of the general public.
We provide a
World-Wide-Web site located at http://www.acm.org/usacm/ to
educate our
members and the public on information technology issues. At the
site, we make
availablegovernment documents, reports, policy statements, and
links to other
science policy resources. The site includes information on encryption
policy.
Authentication online Browser Certs Tracking Adults and Children
DIGITAL ID FOR THE CHILD'S PROFILE IS SENT TO THE PARTNER 36:20
who are told it is the sex, age, and geographic location of the child
to to help partner market to the child.
Schools use Emergency Cards which allows Eguardian to verify the student's identity.
Guidelines for Extended Validation Certificates Add Verified Identity to SSL
The CA/Browser Forum, a voluntary organization of leading certification
authorities (CAs)
and Internet browser software vendors has released a
set of guidelines for a new
type of Extended Validation (EV)
certificate, including standardized procedures for
verifying and
ensuring the identity of the certificate holder.
The formal approval brings to the successful close more than two years
of effort
by over 25 companies and marks the dawn of a new era of
identity on the Internet.
Browser Certs Can't Force AdherenceThe CA/Browser Forum is a vendor consortium made up of public CAs, such as
Comodo, GoDaddy, RSA and VeriSign, as well as Web browser developers like
the KDE Project, Microsoft, the Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software.

sites to implement such identification.
Berkman Institutes Task Force meeting the ideas of having
schools help by verifying the identity, age, and other variables of students.

The companies announced the launch of a new philanthropic venture offering
eGuardian's child protection service, and access to WoogiWorld, for
schools to use as a fundraiser. Schools can make the software and
membership, valued at $29, available to parents for a nominal donation
(determined by each school), with 100 percent of the proceeds going
directly to the schools.
eGuardian software is unique from site blocking software that limits where
a child can go online. Instead, the service enables partner sites, such as
WoogiWorld, to provide a safer environment for children.
Eguardian partner WoogiWorld brings 50,000 schools in the US and more than 14 mil children into the eGuardian process.
Business Model -
1. Parents enroll children at the partner website, directly with EG or through a fund raiser; signature and info provided
2. Parents direct school thru EG online process to verify information provided and release to eGuardian
3. eGuardian receives verified info and assigns eGuardian ID, pays school
4. EG ID provides partners age, gender and geographic location "These approaches will allow for far more
effective market research profiling of young people to be used for targeted
advertising - because the way these companies are going to make money is by
providing their "partners" - the web sites - with a unique persistent
identifier, age, gender and geographic location of your students."
"there MUST be federal legislation to ensure that this digital identification data NOT be used for market
profiling and targeted advertising."

Info CardsIdentity-net is already doing business and associated with ISafe.
They are both trying to use the election to get schools to participate.
But is eGuardian Inc the same one used by the FBI?How eGuardian works. In a very similar way, except it will be available through our secure
Law Enforcement Online
Internet portal to more than 18,000 agencies, which will be able
to run
searches and input their own reports. Their entries will be
automatically sent to a
state “fusion center” (or a similar
intelligence-based hub) for vetting, where trained
personnel will
evaluate it and then either monitor it, close it, or refer it to the
appropriate
FBI terror task force. Ultimately, eGuardian will add
additional capabilities like geo-spatial
mapping, live chats, and link
analysis.
Guardian and eGuardian will work together, feeding each other.
eGuardian entries with a possible terrorism nexus will be pushed to
Guardian and out to our task forces, and unclassified threat and
suspicious activity information from the FBI housed in Guardian will be
pushed to eGuardian and out to the entire law enforcement community.
It’s an effective one-two punch.
