Proliferation of Authentication Methods
summary
Proposes using a networked trust of established institutions (banks, retailers, agencies) to share successful authentication outcomes so later services (example given: Carvana) accept prior logins instead of repeating steps; notes a user counted 33 authentications in one day. Implementation uses vetted institutions as trust issuers, requires real-time revocation (a kill switch) and governance, rejects blockchain for performance and complexity, and claims the network exists today but not yet in this cross‑application form.
