I took a quick look at the drafts for the proposed working group and
I came across the following: "An Identity uniquely identifies a
Communication Entity" and "To put it simply, while the IDy of a
communicating entity is obfuscated to outside observers, it is
revealed to communicating parties with a legitimate need to
know. Legitimate parties include either end of entities itself or
regulatory authorities or authorized edge nodes (routers/IDf based
firewalls) in the network."
I assume that the proposed working group will be creating an embedded
identifier so that legitimate parties can track Internet users. I
don't think that it is a good idea.
