	Passport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A passport is a formal identity document or certification issued by a national government that identifies the holder as a national of a particular state, and requests permission, in the name of the sovereign or government of the issuing country, for the bearer to be permitted to enter and pass through other countries.
		Passports usually contain the holder's photograph, signature, date of birth, nationality, and sometimes other means of individual identification.
		A passport is usually necessary for international travel, as it normally needs to be shown at a country's border, although there exist agreements whereby the citizens of some countries can enter some other countries with other identity documents.

	Risks of the Passport Single Signon Protocol
		Passport's protocols are designed to enable the secure transfer of this profile and wallet information between the Passport server and the merchants.
		Passport cookies, though, are also proofs of authentication whose lifetimes are determined only by the lifetime of the web browser and the (encrypted) time window in the cookie.
		Passport's use of SSL cannot at this point prevent the proxy from reading and possibly rewriting each packet, as all SSL connections are terminated on the proxy, and the user is unlikely to notice the proxy acting on her behalf.

		Microsoft's Passport service, in use today at dozens of online merchants, "carries significant risks to users" according to researchers at ATandT Labs, who concluded that until fundamental changes are made to the single sign-in and electronic wallet service, "efforts such as Passport must be viewed with suspicion."
		Passport's single sign-in and express purchase capability reduces the amount of information to be remembered or retyped, according to the site.
		He said the flaws in Passport arise from its reliance on protocols and technologies that are themselves prone to security flaws, most notably in Web browsers.

		Many phony veterans merely make up their biographies from thin air, but others have been known to forge documents and even to commit "identity theft" of actual POWs or veterans.
		You should begin by informing the veteran that because all too many phony veterans have deceived the news media in recent years about their wartime experiences, it is a sad necessity that you have to confirm the veteran's identity and his official records before you may proceed.
		Another word of caution: Some phony POWs and false heroes have gone so far as to forge the documentation authorizing their medals (primarily in order to obtain VA benefits under false pretenses).

	Emergent Chaos: Small Bits of Chaos: Passports, Financial Crypto
		Bailey is right that the new passport will be harder to forge with the inclusion of RFID chips, especially since the chip would be digitally signed to prevent changes to the data in the chip.
		An unencrypted RFID enabled passport can be skimmed by a hidden reader most easily when the bearer is showing it at a money-changer, giving it to a hotel for safe keeping in the safe or checking into a hostel.
		The data -- inluding the digital photo -- can then be used to create a phony version of the old passport, using the name, passport number, and possibly even the picture of a real passport holder.
