Information Society requires technologies that address trust and security
yet also preserve the privacy of individuals. As the Information Society,
the increasingly digital representation of personal characteristics changes
our ways of identifying individuals, and supplementary digital identities,
so-called virtual identities, embodying concepts such as pseudonymity and
anonymity, are being created for security, profit, convenience or even for
fun. These new identities are feeding back into the world of social and
business affairs, offering a mix of plural identities and challenging
traditional notions of identity. At the same time, European states manage
identities in very different ways. FIDIS objectives are shaping the
requirements for the future management of identity in the EIS and
contributing to the technologies and infrastructures needed. FIDIS work
is structured into 7 research activities:
• „Identity of Identity“
• Profiling
• Interoperability of IDs and ID management systems
• Forensic Implications
• De-Identification
• HighTechID
• Mobility and Identity
