If spam was your only problem now we have two spam and identity theft. Selling/obtaining identity information becomes very profitable and those working in the postal office must guard access like a bank vault.

Then make it a banks job to guard the bank vaults - they need to earn that FDIC bailout money :-)

The paradigm of fixed identity information as proof is pretty obviously doomed. Just like how the 1970s concept of username/password as proof of identity is on its way out. Or credit card numbers alone being used to validate transactions.

All of those notions are pre-internet ways of proving identity. In a world where we're all rarely more than an arm's length from a globally connected computer, they're on the way out.

I am guessing that "fixed identity information" is not a key pair ?
