Identity management is a Key Issue in information security Governments & Corporations are using to Provide and Control access to places and services (bank accounts, buildigs and computer applications) Identity Management Identity management has become a key issue in information security Governments and businesses are using identity management systems to provide and control access to places and services such as bank accounts, buildings and computer applications.

34. Identity management is a Key Issue in information security Governments & Corporations are using to Provide and Control access to places and services (bank accounts, buildigs and computer applications) Identity Management Identity theft is increasing With it, the risk intensifies that not only data but an individual's privacy and reputation might be compromised.

35. Identity Management An individual's identity arises in two ways: biologically & socially Biometric identity relates to things we inherit from our parents, such as DNA, fingerprints, retina patterns Digitized biometric identity management interesting to state agencies such as immigration, police, healthcare, others that need to determine an individual's identity accurately and quickly. We also have a wide range of social identities. These arise from our interaction with others.

36. Identity Management Creating a social identity requires an authority to accept liability for certifying that the person concerned is in fact the individual they say they are. That requires a verifiable audit trail Parents register the birth of a child & medical records should confirm the mother's pregnancy & the child's birth Only a match of the baby's DNA with that of both its parents will prove to a court a child's identity and who his or her parents are Identity management has led governments to seek joining together an individual's social & biometric identities. The aim - greater certainty about the authenticity of an identity.. Example – UK Government’s controversial intention to introduce biometric-based identity cards to all citizens

37. Identity Management In the workplace, companies are increasingly using a person's role plus their identity to provide access to a firm's information system, but to limit that access to only those systems to which the individual needs access. In the past, information depended on a physical device, such as a magnetic card, or a logical key, such as a password. These single factor authentication models are Increasingly being replaced by two, three or even four factors, or credentials, to authenticate the user's identity and allow access. There is a vibrant industry devoted to identity authentication and access technologies (fingerprint readers, retina scanners, palm readers). There is an equally vibrant criminal fraternity devoted to finding ways around such systems. Overall, more technology innovation will help - huge opportunity User education has to increase people still supplier individual security data for a chocolate bar.
