Interesting...how come? I'm not opposed to the idea (I was hoping somebody in the university saw the danger of using SSNs as a default user ID), but it's curious since institutions rarely make changes without a reason. Plus your use of the word "have" implies the use of force, presumably legal.
I assume PKCS is some sort of encryption algorithm. What would it be used to encrypt? The only thing I can possibly think of is encrypting the server-side student data (if I'm correct in assuming that that's where all the passport information is stored). A good idea, if it works.
