Identity management and related information security is a domain with lots of solutions that are widely deployed and used. Yet, a number of important challenges still remain unresolved or require complex solutions that are incompatible with widespread applications or counterparties. Given the ease of storing, distributing, and sharing information, users, corporations and public organisations are still in search for non-complex and interoperable solutions:
· to provide a digital identity for e-government and applications for the general public;
· to protect against data leakage while sharing data with identified addressees through the web, intranets, mobile phones and other means of digital communication;
· to distinguish forgeries from authentic sources.
Given the ease of creating accounts, web addresses and identities in general, these same users, corporations and public organisations are also in search for non-complex and interoperable solutions:
· to protect against identity theft while buying and paying online, with mobile devices, via digital TV, etc;
· to maintain privacy while undertaking transactions or contributing content online, with mobile devices, via digital TV, etc;
· to make people accountable for their online & mobile activities that should be associated with accountability.
