We have to offer the facilities to make it an easy job for everyone.
Compare it to dial-up networking, which can be pretty hard to configure
if you consider all possible parameters and protocols. However GUI and protocol
improvements have brought it to a point where almost everyone is able to
configure it through wizard-like techniques.
I really think that the difficulties of the ins-and-outs of protocols and
their implementations are independent of the use of it. The average
user does not need understand how credit-card companies secure their data,
how they interoperate with banks, how they handle payments and security.
They just know how to use a credit-card and that they should keep it in a
private place. I my opinion this is similar to IDsec: your profile data
is handled in a secure system that you trust; you just need to securely
store a password to access it.
Hans.
