We are using a broad definition of personal, meaning identifiable: the use of information relating to an individual that identifies that individual -- this may include linking information with personally identifiable information from other sources or combining information so as to infer a person's identity. That is: name, address, ID number, etc. as well as IP address, email address, psychographic information, etc.

In fact, Germany requires collection limitation as part of its data protection law. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data principles < http://www.cdt.org/privacy/guide/basic/ oecdguidelines.html>, adopted by hundreds of countries and companies, includes "collection limitation" as its first principle. Roger Clarke of Xamax consulting Pry. Ltd. in Australia has done some excellent work in helping build guidelines to determine when the collection of personally identifiable information is needed for authentication purposes. Clarke's work on this subject is available at http:/ /www.anu.edu.au/people/Roger.Clarke/EC/.

An online version is available at: http://www.cdt.org/privacy/govaccess/ accesschart.shtml.

While companies are reluctant to share exact statistics on this subject, we have anecdotal evidence that legal departments have exploded at online companies specifically to deal with this issue.

Password technologies are clearly not the best authentication technique for such a system, but in reality they are currently the most often used. When password technologies are usedin such systemsnow, the companies have the ability to issue new passwords but no ability to see what the passwords are.
