The present paper provides an overview of existing protocols and infrastructures for Identity Management on the Internet and discusses potential paths towards integrating the different approaches in a user centric manner into a “Universal Login” infrastructure, which allows Users to manage their authentication preferences ...

Privacy issues concerning biometric identification are becoming increasingly relevant due to their proliferation in various fields, including identity and access control management (IAM). The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires the implementation of a data protection impact assessment for privacy critical ...

Proposed is an identity architecture that satisfies the principles of privacy by design, decentralizes control over digital identity from providers to users, mitigates breach and impersonation risks, and reduces dependency on remote access passwords. The architecture is composed of interoperating identity agents that ...

The ability to store and share digital data offers benefits that the digitization of information has become a growing trend but has raised questions about the security of personal data. There have been countless high-profile hacks and personal information leaks. Furthermore users don’t (and shouldn’t) always trust an ...

Security behaviour has been researched from a variety of theoretical lenses, however a clear picture on the factors that foster secure behaviour is still missing. This contribution uses the diffusion of innovations theory and applies it to four exemplary security behaviours to identify how it can explain the uptake of ...

This article will discuss Identity Management (IdM) and digital identities in the context of cyberwar. Cyberattacks that target or exploit digital identities in this context gain leverage through the central position of IdM digital infrastructures. Such attacks will compromize service operations, reduce the security of ...

Blockchain-based Self-sovereign and Decentralized identity approaches are seen by many as the future of identity management. These solutions are supposed to finally bring universally usable, trustworthy, secure, and privacy friendly digital identities for everyone and all use cases. This paper first presents the promises ...

Identity management (IdM) facilitates identification, authentication and authorization in most digital processes that involve humans. Digital services as well as work processes, customer relationship management, telecommunications and payment systems rely on forms of IdM. IdM is a business-critical infrastructure. ...

The GDPR enshrines the privacy by design paradigm in law, making sound privacy engineering methods more important than ever. Integrating automation and extensive tool support into the privacy engineering process has the potential to support organizations in streamlining the implementation of privacy and data protection ...

In networked industry, digital twins aggregate product data along the entire life cycle, from design and production to deployment. This enables interoperability between different data sources and analysis functions and creates an integrated data environment. Human digital twins have the potential to create a similarly ...
