Summary

This deliverable contains the consolidated version of the papers that were prepared for the ID fraud Workshop, held on 18 May 2005 in Tilburg, the Netherlands. The papers discuss ID-related crimes from a legal, a socio-economic, and a technical perspective. It provides an initial presentation of the vast array of phenomena commonly addressed as ID fraud or ID theft from the various perspectives. The legal chapter briefly discusses the EU legal framework as well as some of the national ID crime provisions. The socio-economic chapter decomposes ID linkage into ID collision, ID change, ID deletion and ID restoration in order to gain a more detailed understanding of the various types of ID crimes. It also discusses the incidence of ID crimes as well as the social and economic effects for victims and businesses. The technical chapter describes a number of technical methods of ID crime, including different perspectives on biometrics. Finally, a chapter on countermeasures describes various socio-economic and technical measures to combat ID-related crime.

The objective of this deliverable is to start creating a common ground on which further interdisciplinary research on ID crimes can be developed. The chapters are separate building blocks, put together as a first step to develop such a common ground.
