Knowledge, Learning, Community
This is about as awkwardly presented as an online publication can get, as each page is presented as a GIF image, but the content is compelling. In this report, the authors examine the concept of user identification - passwords, public keys and biometrics - from the standpoint of personal privacy and find current approaches sorely lacking. The result is a set of recommendations that will go part way toward alleviating distrust. Note that this is a pre-release version of the book and subject to further revisions.
