Login.gov Core App: Identity Provider (IdP)
https://github.com/18F/identity-idp
It's built on Rails, and I'm really impressed at the engineering decisions that were made here, from choice of technologies to level of transparency. I wish all public sector projects could exhibit the same leadership and competence demonstrated for login.gov--the interface is even a pleasure to use, which is hard to say for most government online services outside of the UK and parts of Canada in my experience. Bravo!

There's a lot of things that use public/private keys however, or security tokens, or whatnot. Should it be a smartphone app? A hardware dongle? Etc. etc. If a hardware dongle, which one?
As such, its the Executive Branch's job to research the various technologies, and implement a new standard to solve the online identity problem.
----------
For example, 18f (White House's crack website team) has the following: https://login.gov/
Github code here: https://github.com/18F/identity-idp
If single-sign on were widely deployed across US Agencies (and tied to financial services / private sector banks), we'd be in a way better place.
In any case, this is clearly the realm of the Executive Branch. Specifically 18f probably should continue to lead the effort, as they have been.

I'd personally rather have the positive condition first as it is easier for me to follow logically in my head.
