Warning this is all my opinion and one should use their own judgement.

Apple's whole identity system is basically kerberos+ldap. This is how Apple deals with identity and authentication. Apple has made recent announcements at handing this management to the user. This is how Apple will open up the App Store. There will be a status quo set-up and an open set-up. The status quo will be for those who could give a flying flip about all the freedom people claim they are missing out on. The open set-up will let the identity owner share their keys with anyone they one want. Apple can use all sorts of alerts and lock down all of data held by Apple and the user can create and share keys with whoever they want without providing unintended data access held by Apple. Facebook users will create keys to use with their iOS device and and that will be the point that FB can start to collect data. The only thing this is based on is my Sysadmining Macs since about 1989.
