The Domains of Identity: A Framework for Understanding Identity Systems in Contemporary Society

Description

"The Domains of Identity" defines sixteen coherent yet comprehensive categories of interactions which cause personally identifiable information to be stored in databases. Discussions of identity management are often confusing; enumerating these domains and describing their characteristics clarifies which problems arise and how they can be solved within each domain.

"The Domains of Identity is the canonical work on the subject of personal identity in the digital world. Those serious about studying that subject need to start here." -Doc Searls, Journalist "The Domains of Identity provides a valuable framework for thinking about a wide-ranging set of issues around digital identity such as representation and authentication of a person's identity in digital systems, design and governance of identity access and management systems, identity fraud and identity theft risks, potential protection against identity-related risks, etc. The book is an essential read for business leaders, technologists, policy makers, citizens and students who are concerned with issues of digital identity." -Huseyin Tanriverdi, Associate Professor, Red McCombs School of Business, The University of Texas at Austin, USA
