Hold on there who are you?
nobody.
Nobody can't just come in here.
Actually I'm Mickey Mouse.
(Mickey is a common pseudonym when users are asked to identify themselves to get info)
Good to see you again Mr. Mouse.
Thanks, I need to buy a computer.
That's great Mickey! But we're going to have to know a lot more about you to sell you a computer.
I'm Mickey Mouse! Visa card 1234 5678 9012 3456
That's all I need to hear!
Super! I need to Model Z9000s.
Oh,
I'm sorry Mr. Mouse, but the sale of that device is restricted from
import to certain persons and places. I'm going to need a bit more
identification and do just a little check on you.
Right so here's my passport. Will this take any longer?
No that's about it. The Passport is of course a base identity document.
Great. When can I receive my systems?
Oh, I'm very sorry those are out of stock.
But, listen that's no problem really , you can sign up for our notification
system. We'll notify you when the systems come in, and in the meantime
you'll get to receive lot's of wonderful offers in your email.
Good, I'm already signed up.
Oh, that's wonderful Mr. Mouse, but there's just one more thing. If you
are already signed up, unfortunatly I need to inform you that there's
been just a little problem. One of our employees had his laptop stolen and it had your personal data, along with about 20 thousand of our other customers. You'll be receiving a notice in the mail.
How could this happen? What am I supposed to do now?
Would you like to sign up for our Identity Protection Service Plus?

Mr. Mouse?
....
Are you still there Mr. Mouse?

Hello, My name is Donald Duck. I'd like to order a computer.
Nice to meet you Mr. Duck. Since this is your first time here would you
mine filling out this .... WAIT A MINUTE .... Now Now Mr. Mouse we realize that this is you. We'll just call up your profile .
No. No. I want to be Mr. Duck!
Too bad Mr. Duckmouse. Unfortunately, those cookies we left on your machine
make it possible for everyone to connect the dots. You should have been
more anonymous.
So what's a Duck to do. Like most of you
I want all of those valuable services, but I'm also afraid. I've been
personally compromised by one of the banks I use and by one of the
universities I attended ( and worked for).
There are many problems in the interoperability of identity. Problems which are
exacerbated by every institutions you contact developing additional
identity 'forks' which may be compromised. One major project to
address this is Project Liberty, which establishes open standards for federated network identity. But what if "I" want to take control. Enter identity 2.0,
a movement much like web 2.0 , which focusses on end user centric
internet infrastructure. Where Liberty enables organizational
federation of identity information, identity 2.0 seeks to put the locus
of control in the individuls e-hands.
Liberty and identity 2.0 doesn't solve your identity or privacy issues, but they do create
standards that enable policy driven rationalization of authentication
and authorization transactions. We could focus on these enablers, but
maybe the real question is "Who are you?" Who do you want to be in an
Internet existential sense. Maybe we all want to be Mr. Slippery, the
hero of Vernor Vinge's True Names, only known by our alias.
Will the lack of privacy and security of your 'data' drive you to an alias based internet identity? Have you locked your credit report? Will your government take that right away? As for me now that I've cleaned my cookies I'm looking for another cartoon animal to impersontate.
