IPTS ponders security, identity in cyberspace

from the Virtual-identity-crisis dept.
The September 2001 issue (#57) of The IPTS Report which is published by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS), part of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, focuses on various issues related to security in cyberspace. Perhaps the most interesting article in the issue is one that deals with "Cyber-Security and the Future of Identity", presenting some interesting ideas about how one determines physical, digital, and virtual identities and how these relate to privacy, authentication and security.
