Kaspersky says Internet anonymity should end

The Internet is a “country” where criminality can no longer be
kept under control by national police forces, so the network should
have its own government, and the users should “enter” the Internet
only after producing some sort of “ID”, says Eugene Kaspersky, one
of the leading international experts in security technology and
founder of the world’s fourth largest producer of antivirus
software. “Water, electricity, gas networks are all secure networks
because one knows who every entity in the system is. Passports and
driving licences cannot eliminate criminality completely, but they
are helpful in stopping and identifying a certain person, with
criminality being kept in check. The same should be done on the
Internet. We have to put an end to Internet anonymity,” said
Kaspersky, 45, at the “WWW: World Wild West?” seminar, organised by
ZF and Kaspersky Labs. He founded Kaspersky Labs in 1997, a company
with turnover put at 480 million dollars this year.
