"Privacy Today: The Battle for Your Online Identity"
http://www.extropy.org/events.htm

Other talks on the topic at Extro-5:

  "Authority Without Identity"  Mark Miller
  "Proplets and Smart Contracts" Nick Szabo
  "Fighting for More Privacy: Zero Knowledge Techniques" Tad Hogg
  "Fighting for Less Privacy: The Transparency Option" Lee Daniel Crocker
  "Privacy Tomorrow: The Far Future of Online Identity" Nick Szabo"

I just searched the archives for posts in 200/2001 on the topic of identity
and lost track of time!
