Identity management architectures: Arguing for a socio-technical perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spread of advanced information technologies introduced a broader conception of identity, which now includes the representation of people in the virtual environment. As a result, today we can see that identity can be defined both in technology and sociology-oriented terms. Different organisations assign identities to the individuals they interact with and manage them by means of technical solutions that are applicable. In this paper we present the different approaches to a person’s identity: one offered by technology and the requirements of identity providers and one that stems from the concerns of individuals concerning their identity. We argue that the distance between the two approaches must be bridged in order for a more unified concept of identity to be incorporated in all related activities.
