  • The root of these problems is that the Internet was designed without a system of digital identity in mind. In efforts to address this deficiency, numerous digital identity systems have been introduced, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. But no one single system meets the needs of every digital identity scenario. And even if it were possible to create one system that did, the reality is that many different identity systems are in use today, with still more being invented. As a result, the current state of digital identity on the Internet is an inconsistent patchwork of ad hoc solutions that burdens people with different user experiences at every web site, renders the system as a whole fragile, and constrains the fuller realization of the promise of e-commerce.

      An overview of the problem with digital identity
  • The identities held by a person in the offline world can range from the significant, such as birth certificates, passports, and drivers’ licenses, to the trivial, such as business cards or frequent coffee buyer’s cards. People use their different forms of identification in different contexts where they are accepted.

    Avatars are often used as an online representation if a user and may or may not resemble the user's real life self.Reasons why people take on multiple identities online:freedom in the exploration of other forms of existence,opportunities for those whom have been marginalised in society to express their opinions freely without the fear of being discriminated against etc.\n\nHowever,the blurring of boundaries between the digital and real world could lead to implications such as people spending too much time on the Internet and even forgoing real life interactions with people.They submerge themselves in their online identities (sometimes possessing multiple online identities) and may develop a multi-identity syndrome if not monitored closely.

    The author is outraged by the virtual discrimination against people who appear to be "different".By "different",I refer to the open displays of gender and sexuality preferences online.Although the judging of others is inevitable in both the virtual and real world,there appears to be a tendency for people to be more lax when voicing out their critics for the former.Hence,the author calls for the implementation of a "Gender Freedom Day" for the virtual world.This would allow these"different" people to unite and be confident about who they really are.

    Information Cards are the online equivalent of cards to prove our identify and provide information. The high-tech cards, however, are a visual representation of a personal digital identity which can be shared with online entities. Consumers are able to manage the information in their cards, have multiple cards with different levels of detail, and easily select the card they want to use for any given transaction.

    The vast array of data points that make up "personal information" in the age of online media are nearly impossible to quantify or neatly define. Name, address, and phone number are just the basics in a world where voluntarily posting self-authored content such as text, photos, and video has become a cornerstone of engagement in the era of the participatory Web. The more content we contribute voluntarily to the public or semi-public corners of the Web, the more we are not only findable, but also knowable.

    A burgeoning list of user names and passwords, used for everything from paying an energy bill to logging on to a social network with former classmates to reading a news website, has created a modern-day annoyance: an unending digital baptism as each new website requires people to coin new nicknames and passwords. But there are also privacy and security concerns. People continue to deposit information about themselves all across the Internet, often without clear control over that data.
