Governments and banks have a lot of problems trusting other people. But there are at least two ways out of this.

First, if they organize complex and secure authentication procedures, maybe that they can share them with other entities as a service.

Second, as we get in a world of two-factor authentication (at least for banking), standard solutions may arise that will be used by several entities. At least, we can hope so.

The problem with any federated identity system (OpenID, Liberty Alliance, etc.) is that no banking institution or government entity will trust such a system. From their perspective, there’s just too much at stake (i.e. money and government secrets) to trust a federated identification system.
