"At a Crossroads: Personhood and Digital Identity in the Information Society"

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) this week released "At a Crossroads: Personhood and Digital Identity in the Information Society", by Berkman Fellow Mary Rundle and co-authors Bob Blakley, Jeff Broberg, Anthony Nadalin, Dale Olds, Mary Ruddy, Marcelo Thompson Mello Guimarães, and Paul Trevithick. The paper argues that law and technology must be crafted to respect certain "Properties of Identity" in identity management in order for the information society to be free and open. Respect for the Properties of Identity is necessary for data protection; data protection is necessary for accountability; and accountability is necessary for trust. User control is a central theme of the paper.
