Does anyone know any ways to protect social security number?

Hello everybody, I have been using my social security number for my taxation purposes. But, I have been recently intimidated by my lawyer that since the crime of identity theft has been on the high I should be careful in using it. I am really concerned about this and need to know whether there are any ways by which we can protect them.

CERTPATCH(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      CERTPATCH(8)

NAME
certpatch -- add subjectAltName identities to X.509 certificates SYNOPSIS
certpatch [-t identity-type] -i identity -k signing-key input-certificate output-certificate DESCRIPTION
certpatch alters PEM-encoded X.509 certificates by adding a subjectAltName extension containing an identity used by the signature-based authentication schemes of the ISAKMP protocol. After the addition the certificate will be signed once again with the supplied CA signing key. The options are as follows: -t identity-type If given, the -t option specifies the type of the given identity. Currently ip, fqdn, and ufqdn are recognized. The default is ip. -i identity The -i option takes an argument which is the identity to put into the subjectAltName field of the certificate. If the identity-type is ip, this argument should be an IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. -k signing-key The -k option specifies the key used for signing the certificate once the subjectAltName extension has been added. The key is speci- fied by the filename where it is stored in PEM format. SEE ALSO
