Book excerpt: Online Identities: Creating and Communicating the Online Self presents a critical investigation of the ways in which representations of identities have shifted since the advent of digital communications technologies. Critical studies over the past century have pointed to the multifaceted nature of identity, with a number of different theories and approaches used to explain how everyday people have a sense of themselves, their behaviors, desires, and representations. In the era of interactive, digital, and networked media and communication, identity can be understood as even more complex, with digital users arguably playing a more extensive role in fashioning their own self-representations online, as well as making use of the capacity to co-create common and group narratives of identity through interactivity and the proliferation of audio-visual user-generated content online. - Makes accessible complex theories of identity from the perspective of today's contemporary, digital media environment - Examines how digital media has added to the complexity of identity - Takes readers through examples of online identity such as in interactive sites and social networking - Explores implications of inter-cultural access that emerges from globalization and world-wide networking

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Identities in Tension deals with the ambivalence of universal digitalization. While this transformation opens up new possibilities, it also redistributes the interplay of constraints and incentives, and tends insidiously to create a greater malleability of individuals. Today, companies and states are increasingly engaged in the surveillance and management of our digital identities. In response, we must study the effects that the new industrial, economic and political logics have on ethical issues and our ability to act. This book examines the effects of digitalization on new modes of existence and subjectivation in many spheres: digital identity management systems, Big Data and machine learning, the Internet of Things, smart cities, etc. The study of these transformations is one of the major conditions for more responsible modes of data governance to emerge.

Book excerpt: For almost every organization in the future, both public and private sector, identity management presents both significant opportunities and risks. Successfully managed, it will allow everyone to access products and services that are tailored to their needs and their behaviours. But successful management implies that organizations will have overcome the significant obstacles of security, individual human rights and social concern that could cause the whole process to become mired. Digital Identity Management, based on the work of the annual Digital Identity Forum in London, provides a wide perspective on the subject and explores the current technology available for identity management, its applications within business, and its significance in wider debates about identity, society and the law. This is an essential introduction for organizations seeking to use identity to get closer to customers; for those in government at all levels wrestling with online delivery of targeted services; as well as those concerned with the wider issues of identity, rights, the law, and the potential risks.

Download or read book BLOCKCHAIN AND DIGITAL IDENTITY PRIVACY SECURITY AND TRUST IN THE DIGITAL AGE written by Dr. Pramod Kumar and published by Xoffencerpublication. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An identity of a person or organization can be represented by a set of qualities associated with the entity, such as the person's or organization's name, address, and other relevant information. Maintaining the data required for identifying a person and controlling their access is a component of identity management. The three most important actors in the identity management system are called a Holder, an Issuer, and a Verifier. Personal credentials can be issued to an identity holder (a legal individual or business) by the identity issuer, which is a third party that can be trusted and is often a local government. The identity issuer verifies the accuracy of the user's personal information included in the credential before releasing the user's data to that user. For instance, the surname, as well as the month and year of birth. These credentials can be saved by the holder of the identity in his or her personality identification wallet, and the holder of the identity can use them at a later time to verify assertions about his or her identity to a third party who is the validator of the identity data. A credential is a collection of several different identity attributes, such as a person's name, age, and date of birth. An identity attribute is a piece of information that describes an identity. The holder of a credential can make a verifiable claim, which must include certain facts about the holder that must be testified to by the issuer and digitally signed by the issuer. Credentials are given out by independent organizations that attest for the truthfulness of the information that is contained inside the credential. The validity and dependability of a certificate are directly proportional to the credibility and reputation of the organization that issued it. The fact in a credential could be the holder's identification data (like their date of birth, for example) or it might be another form of factual data (like their grade point average, for example). After developing a trustworthy connection with the issuer, anybody, such as an employer, has the potential to act in the capacity of claim verifier. The verifier makes a request for a particular credential (such as a person's birth certificate, for instance), and then uses the issuer's signature to validate the legitimacy of the credential. Identity management can be difficult if the holders do not have complete control over their own identity data. This is because identity data are typically stored at the websites of third-party issuers, such as government institutes, banks, and credit agencies

Download or read book Emergent Identities written by Rob Cover and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the emergence of new sexual and gender identities in the context of an ever-changing digital landscape, Emergent Identities considers how traditional, binary understandings of sexuality and gender are being challenged and overridden by a taxonomy of non-binary, fluid classifications and descriptors. In this comprehensive account of the ongoing shift in our understandings of gender and sexuality, Cover explores how and why traditional masculine/feminine and hetero/homo dichotomies are quickly being replaced with identity labels such as heteroflexible, bigender, non-binary, asexual, sapiosexual, demisexual, ciswoman and transcurious. Drawing on real-world data, Cover considers how new ways of perceiving relationships, attraction and desire are contesting authorised, institutional knowledge on gender and sexuality. The book explores the role that digital communication practices have played in these developments and considers the implications of these new approaches for identity, individuality, creativity, media, healthcare and social belonging. A timely response to recent developments in the field of gender identity, this will be a fascinating read for students of Psychology, Gender Studies, Media and Cultural Studies, and related areas as well as professionals in this field.
