Re: SQRL

It isn't identity management though. It is a peer-to-peer authentication system for logging onto services anonymously. The service you are connecting to can only verify that you are the person who created the account, but it cannot identify you.

I think SQRL is great, but its use is completely opposite as to what is required for identifying yourself for government services - they can't be anonymous by nature.
