The Management and the Representation of Identity in Information Systems: an Overview

 

This section provides a categorised overview of how identity is managed in Information Systems (for instance how this identity can be controlled by the user, by a trusted third party, by a non-trusted third party), and how this identity can be represented (for instance, the different categories of identity attributes that can be distinguished). For a better understanding two perspectives are taken: the social perspective and the perspective of a person or individual. This section also indicates what different approaches can be used to acquire identity related information to describe a person. 

Parts of the chapter are summarised for a better understanding of “Del 5.2 Thematic Workshop on ID-theft, privacy and security” and “Del 3.1 Overview on IMS”.
