>Mozilla Labs designed the BrowserID (see https://browserid.com) 
>experiment to increase user convenience and safety online. Using 
>Mozilla's Privacy & Data Operating Principles as guidelines, we are 
>developing a system that seeks to maximize user privacy and control 
>by shrinking the user-data minefield, disclosing information to 
>sites only on a need-to-know basis, employing a model that is 
>intuitive and users understand, and limiting tracking of browsing 
>behavior while also enabling pseudonymity online.
