I'll be talking here about OpenID and the "Identity Layer" for the Internet. Last year at the same event three persons from the audience had an OpenID so I'm anxious to see how we have evolved in this field. Hope to see many of you in Sophia-Antip...

About Electronic Identities

The aim of this network is to keep people in touch with each other and with activities related to electronic identities (e-ID). Focus has been the representation of various forms of national identity - for example for national identity cards, but also related topics, such as interoperability, population registries, passports - and secondary / alternate uses of identity, such as in the social media domain are of interest.

We have various features on the site and will be adding more as we learn what members find useful:
My Page - This is a page where you can post information about yourself. Please add a photo and a little bit of background as it will make the network much more sociable.
Events - You can accept invitations to the events listed here, which will let other members know that you are planning to attend. You can also create your own events and invite friends and contacts both within this network and outside. This will encourage new members to join so do please promote as many relevant events as possible.
Forum - You can start your own Forums as well as starting, and contributing to, discussions in existing fora.
Invite - Please invite your friends and colleagues, to help the network to grow.

Entitlement to copy identification documents

It was recently brought to my attention an article published in the Washington Post by Ellen Nakashima on US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policies allowing a pretty thorough search of all documents at a border control facility. As is so often the case with reading newspaper articles, it is interesting to read a journa… Continue

IEEE Computer on Interoperable IdM

The following request for papers by IEEE Computer related to the topic of interoperable identity management (IdM) systems might be promising. IdM is nothing new to the IEEE, and I recommend taking a look at the March-April 2008 issue of IEEE Security & Privacy magazine dedicated to IdM. What the Porvoo Group has been looking at for years now (e-ID interoperability), seems to slowly be ma… Continue

IdentityCamp Bremen

Hats off to the organisers of the IdentityCamp in Bremen: Ralf Bendrath, Daniel Hüttenmeister, Udo Neitzel, Torsten Noack, and Nadine Portillo.

I spent two fabulous days participating and exchanging ideas around various aspects of electronic/digital identity. There was a healthy mix of disciplines represented, including computer scientists and programmers, lawyers, sociologists, social media / web developers and even a few curious stude… Continue

Interdisciplinary ideas

I remember discussing this with someone -- but due to my advancing years, I can't remember who -- a few months ago after reading some of the reputation-realted discussion on the Burton Group blog. The discussion about Personas Need Reputation, Too! was about what a protocol to support reputation might look like. The idea was to enable multiple parties to engage and have the outcome of the engagement (in the form of claims about relationships) communicated.

Paradigms and pseudonyms

Touch and gone

The European Commission has announced plans for Europe to play a leading part in developing and managing interconnected networks formed from everyday objects with radio frequency identity (RFID) tags embedded in them - the so-called "internet of things". ...When I touch my phone to the poster to find out more about The Glastonbury Festival (this is hypothetical: I stopped going in 1983 on the grounds that it was getting to big and too commercial) how do I know that I will be connected to the Glastonbury Festival ticket line (or whatever) and not a premium-rate call to Nigerian scammers who will play me "please hold, your call is important to us" followed by snatches of Vivaldi until Vodafone cut you off when your bill passes $10,000?

Data shrinkage
