Paper Abstract:
|
The paper examines some of the privacy issues related to forms of federated authentication and identity management
(FAIM) employed in the delivery of electronic services (mainly of the government). The paper should be read as a merely
exploratory exercise. It starts by defining briefly the context in which current forms of federated authentication and
identity management (FAIM) are being employed. For this purpose, a new concept has been introduced, that of the
infoservice society. Subsequently, the paper takes a closer look at the situation in three countries: the Netherlands,
Austria and the United States. The brief inventory of developments in the three countries is used to subsequently distil
insights into related privacy issues, propose an alternative way of defining privacy, and formulate conclusions and policy
recommendations. |
