We should be able to move to a challenge/response scheme on a smart cards. The other parties still have the ability to authenticate its user, but will lose the ability to impersonate him/her once the user takes back the key. All it needs is a central database to blacklist lost/stolen cards.
We could even pass a law to ban local storage of anything other the public key and require all information retrieved in real time. This gives a user the added ability to allow/disallow the release of any information any company sending unwanted mail to your address by just adding a company to his/her blacklist.
