   Can privacy be preserved  (2)   bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly  (3)   ?
   Last month, Howard Schmidt, the nation’s cyber-czar, offered the federal government a  (4)   to make the Web a safer place a "voluntary trusted identity" system that would be the high-tech  (5)   of a physical key, a fingerprint and a photo ID card, all rolled  (6)   one. The system might use a smart identity card, or a digital credential  (7)   to a specific computer, and would authenticate users at a range of online services.

The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver’s license  (10)   by the government.

   The plan has also been greeted with  (18)   by some computer security experts, who worry that the "voluntary ecosystem" envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet  (19)  . They argue that all Internet users should be  (20)   to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.
