Comments on Identity Assurance and Friendly Fire from Within
Now that we are getting ever more cyber-dependent, it is obvious that all the citizens must be able to enjoy a yet more solid digital identity. For making some contributions to the global endeavour, I am posting my observations on the related topics from time to time. Here is the archive of my short comments posted recently on LinkedIn.
The issues I take up are mostly
1. benefits of making use of our own episodic memory as secret credentials and seeds of cryptographic keys
2. catastrophic damages caused by removing secret credentials from digital identity on security and democracy
3. negative security effects of biometrics misused in cyber space
