Thanks to Stefan Brands<\/a> for pointing us<\/a> to On the Identity Trail<\/a> – a really interesting blog on “Understanding the importance and impact of anonymity and authentication in a networked society”. It sports the “animated fingerprint’ shown here (Warning! Don't look at it for too long!<\/em>) and in addition to Stefan, the group includes luminaries ranging from Steve Mann<\/a> to Ann Cavoukian<\/a>, the Information and Privacy Commissioner for the Province of Ontario.<\/p>\n

Researcher Alex Cameron<\/a> blogs beautifully<\/a> about the recent conference<\/a> held by the group in Ottawa, Canada. I really wish I'd been there.<\/p>\n

As great as Alex's coverage is, I hope they'll post a podcast. Maybe Steve Mann has a complete three dimensional recording back at his central base.<\/p>\n

While I'm at it, thanks to Stefan for emailing me to correct my impression that the Digital Identity paper refered to here<\/a> was written by Abelson and Lessig themselves, rather than by their students. As he says, it doesn't make the paper any less interesting – but I'm actually relieved to discover that Lawrence Lessig was not an author. <\/p>\n

Stefan has been doing some excellent postings<\/a> and I am trying to find some time to give them the attention they definitely deserve. I guess I'll have to start with his interesting comments<\/a> on the definition of digital identity I put forward in my last post.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
