Identity fraud and identity theft are major issues in Internet regulation. They have become the major focus of cyber crime initiatives and debate. Legislation has recently been passed in the US that critics say will create a de facto national ID card. Backed by the REAL ID Act of 2005, the US will soon bring into place massive reforms to standardise driver’s licenses and personal identification cards, effectively paving the way for a system of national identification.
