If you look at the best National ID systems in Europe, effective it’s all leveraging PKI. It needs a name, of course (National ID) and a purpose, however the entire core of these systems rest on PKI

National ID won't sell, politically, in the US. Branding it as some kind of "cyber" nonsense might give it some legs. (Just until the opposition starts calling it "National ID". I don't think political buy-in will ever happen in a reasonable timeframe no matter how it's branded.) The opposition to REAL ID act is evidence enough.
