Identity Management - Issues

Issues

The management of identity raises a certain number of concerns, such as privacy issues that may lead to the implementation of a surveillance society (Taylor, Lips & Organ 2009), and risks related to the stealing of identity (identity theft).

The advent of the social web, and the important development of online social networking services in particular; for which the management of members' identity is a core element; also creates a certain number of risks related to the disclosure of personal information (Gross, Acquisti & Heinz 2008), and particularly the loss of an individual's privacy (Taylor 2008).

Famous quotes containing the word issues:

    To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
