http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/dir/2009/110909id1.html
Context is important. I know I say that a lot, but I'll keep saying it until you all agree. That is to say, you're entitled to your own opinion but if your opinion is that context isn't important then your opinion is just wrong. To clarify for those of you new to this argument, context refers to the who, what, when, where, why and how of a transaction, in particular an identity-based transaction. Knowing those things greatly reduces the chances of fraud, mitigating the risk involved in the transaction.
