This book contains selected papers presented at the 15th IFIP WG 9.2, 9.6/11.7, 11.6/SIG 9.2.2 International Summer School on Privacy and Identity Management, held in Maribor, Slovenia, in September 2020.* The 13 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. Also included is a summary paper of a tutorial. As in previous years, one of the goals of the IFIP Summer School was to encourage the publication of thorough research papers by students and emerging scholars. The papers combine interdisciplinary approaches to bring together a host of perspectives, such as technical, legal, regulatory, socio-economic, social or societal, political, ethical, anthropological, philosophical, or psychological perspectives. *The summer school was held virtually.

Digital identity can be defined as the digital representation of the information known about a specific individual or organization. Digital identity management technology is an essential function in customizing and enhancing the network user experience, protecting privacy, underpinning accountability in transactions and interactions, and complying with regulatory controls. This practical resource offers you a in-depth understanding of how to design, deploy and assess identity management solutions. It provides a comprehensive overview of current trends and future directions in identity management, including best practices, the standardization landscape, and the latest research finding. Additionally, you get a clear explanation of fundamental notions and techniques that cover the entire identity lifecycle.

This book contains selected papers presented at the 12th IFIP WG 9.2, 9.5, 9.6/11.7, 11.6/SIG 9.2.2 International Summer School on Privacy and Identity Management, held in Ispra, Italy, in September 2017. The 12 revised full papers, 5 invited papers and 4 workshop papers included in this volume were carefully selected from a total of 48 submissions and were subject to a three-phase review process. The papers combine interdisciplinary approaches to bring together a host of perspectives: technical, legal, regulatory, socio-economic, social, societal, political, ethical, anthropological, philosophical, and psychological. They are organized in the following topical sections: privacy engineering; privacy in the era of the smart revolution; improving privacy and security in the era of smart environments; safeguarding personal data and mitigating risks; assistive robots; and mobility and privacy.

This study is principally concerned with the ethical dimensions of identity management technology - electronic surveillance, the mining of personal data, and profiling - in the context of transnational crime and global terrorism. The ethical challenge at the heart of this study is to establish an acceptable and sustainable equilibrium between two central moral values in contemporary liberal democracies, namely, security and privacy. Both values are essential to individual liberty, but they come into conflict in times when civil order is threatened, as has been the case from late in the twentieth century, with the advent of global terrorism and trans-national crime. We seek to articulate legally sustainable, politically possible, and technologically feasible, global ethical standards for identity management technology and policies in liberal democracies in the contemporary global security context. Although the standards in question are to be understood as global ethical standards potentially to be adopted not only by the United States, but also by the European Union, India, Australasia, and other contemporary liberal democratic states, we take as our primary focus the tensions that have arisen between the United States and the European Union.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security, ACNS 2012, held in Singapore, in June 2012. The 33 revised full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 192 submissions. They are organized in topical sessions on authentication, key management, block ciphers, identity-based cryptography, cryptographic primitives, cryptanalysis, side channel attacks, network security, Web security, security and privacy in social networks, security and privacy in RFID systems, security and privacy in cloud systems, and security and privacy in smart grids.

This book documents the R&D outcome of the PRIME Project, an R&D project partially funded by the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme and the Swiss Federal Office for Education and Science. PRIME has focused on privacy-enhancing identity management techniques and systems to support users’ sovereignty over their personal privacy and enterprises’ privacy-compliant data processing. During the course of four years, the project has involved over a hundred researchers and professionals from 22 major European academic and industrial organizations conducting R&D work in areas relevant to digital privacy. The book presents 28 detailed chapters organized in five parts: Introductory summary, legal, social, and economic aspects, realization of privacy-enhancing user-centric identity management, exploitation of PRIME results for applications, conclusions drawn and an outlook on future work. As the first coherent presentation of the topic, this book will serve as a valuable source of reference and inspiration for anybody working on digital privacy.
