the anonymous passports/SINs/fidelity bond ideas, Bitcoin doesn't have any
relevance to it.

No, it wouldn't. You can log a user in using SSL and then redirect the user
back to an encrypted page, using cookies for the rest of the session.
Please don't clutter up this list with conspiracy theories. The brutal
