Woo Hoo! I just got my 2018 Medicare booklet and they’re gonna issue new member ID cards without SS numbers on them. Isn’t that awesome? Now that everybody and their friggin’ brother already have my SS number. Horse, barn door. Just sayin’. Fidiots.

This’ll work great until the .gov’s private key is compromised.
Then anyone and their DACA mother will be able to generate a valid identifier.
At that point, the solution will be to revoke all the previously issued id’s, and start over, generating new ones using a new private key.
Until that key is also lost...

They can use a mix of letters and numbers with no dashes or spaces and add some digits.
It would be much more secure, but it would require massive re-programming of government and civilian computer databases to install......................

It would also help tremendously if a law was passed forbidding the use of SSNs for anything that is not related to Social Security, even if a person consents to its use for other purposes.
Plus, have that law be strictly enforced and allow for lawsuits by people affected by its use for non-SS purposes.

The governments private key?
Would think everybody ought to get their own private key, with the government only having public keys. Thus if someone hacked a government server they would just get public keys and not be able to impersonate anyone.
