This is a very simple post to link to Sid Arora's MSc thesis (done on Royal Holloway University of London's distance learning course): "Review and Analysis of Current and Future European e-ID Schemes". For those who don't want to tackle the full 73 pages, there is also a 16-page summary here.
I met Sid earlier this year at the Porvoo Group's 13th meeting, and it was obvious from the outset that he is intelligent, well-informed and articulate. This piece of work only reinforces that impression; Sid sets out the theoretical principles of e-identity, looks at how these have been put into practice across a range of European national schemes, and relates this to the human and political factors which play such an important part.
