A follow up to my look at digital identity yesterday Tom from HR for the leader in you wrote about gaining trust. In reading his post he talks about how hierarchies end up lying (at some point) and due to their small size teams cannot lie. In thinking about this does that mean that thisContinue reading “Gaining Trust”

Digital identity a perspective
George Siemens of elearnspace pointed to a couple of papers written last week by Stephen Downes on digital identity (part 1, part 2) which were very interesting. A disclaimer, not being an academic I personally find Stephen’s work difficult to read so I might have misunderstood the intent, if so let me know. Stephen’s firstContinue reading “Digital identity a perspective”
Australian Census online
An interesting story was in the Australian IT to on how the 2006Australian Census will have an option to be completed online. I am not really sure what to make of it. While I think it is a great step forward I have a healthy scepticism on the security of the system. I know thatContinue reading “Australian Census online”
Background checking service
From blog*on*nymity I found an interview with ZabaSearch’s President & General Counsel Robert Zakari and Chairman Nicholas Matzorkis. ZabaSearch is yet another personal search/background checking service to entry the now very crowded market. The interview is very interesting, highlighting flaws in the system and process and should scare the living daylights out of anyone inContinue reading “Background checking service”
Japan, knives and GPS tracking
It seems the Japanese are getting very serious about the security of their children. They now have knife proof clothing, GPS tagged bags and personal alarm systems. However I have to wonder about the privacy impacts and long term psychological changes with the culture based on these types of changes.

The post has some good tips and some not so good ones, many are also only relevant if you live in the US which while might be good for a lot of bloggers does not cut it for the rest ofContinue reading “Blog anonymously”
Digital IDs at Cebit
Computerworld has an item today talking about digital identity and how some of the work from organisations like Liberty Alliance were starting to make progress on enhancing security online. While an interesting read, the article really says nothing, I found it filled with PR-type comments and meaningless announcements from big companies. It is sad toContinue reading “Digital IDs at Cebit”
Security flaw in PayMaxx software/service
Here is a very interesting (read scary) press release from Think Computer., if you have an outsourced payroll vendor it is a must read! I wonder what Kim Cameron and others in the identity management domain would think?

Manageing digital identity & trust
Just listened to Phil Becker being interviews by Doug Kaye over at IT Conversation. Phil is one of (maybe the) organisers of the Digital ID World conference that was recently held in Denver this year. I am finding myself more and more interested in the whole area of digital identity, I have mentioned single signContinue reading “Manageing digital identity & trust”
