Wireless Identity Management: Multimodal Biometrics and Multilayered IDM

In wireless era, digital users in electronic world (e-world) are represented by a set of data called Digital Identity (ID), which they use, among other functions, for authentication purposes. Within the e-world it is risky to lose the identity and so security solutions are required to protect IDs. Information security should provide the necessary identity management (IDM) process to mitigate that threat. Moreover, efficient protection of the digital identity would encourage users to enter the digital world without worries. Our suggested solution depends on three dimensions: Management, Security solution and security dimensions. Our proposed model appears as a multilayered security approach, since it tries to integrate different security technologies and multimodal biometrics tools and practices, such as wireless management, policies, procedures, guidelines, standards and legislation. The advantages, limitations and requirements of the proposed model are discussed.
