WHO AM I NOT?: Digital Identities, Cyber Troubles and Legal Cures

This book introduces, in an easy-to-read manner, the challenges of digital identity and also the methods by which the challenges can be met.

The provision of most online services requires the user to have a unique digital identity. In order to receive such services conveniently and promptly, most people are willing to establish such an identity. However, a digital identity opens up many opportunities for mistakes, miscommunications, impersonations and other forms of fraud.
