This thesis is about Personal Identification challenges towards Ubiquitous Computing world as targeted in 2020. The study starts by defining the problems that how diversity of tools for personal identification as an always-foreground activity is problematic in order to become a pervasive interaction. The thesis is divided into three parts. Part one is introduction, background and related works. Part two will describe the empirical study—Triangulation— that is supported by qualitative and quantitative methods. Observation and the analysis over collected data, also the result of informal interviews will cover the qualitative part. The informal interview consists of pre-determined questions that some answers have been analyzed by graphs and the last part of interview was the open discussion that ascertain what values the interviewees counts in today’s identification designs and what challenges or improvements they believe for future of personal identification. Last part is the future works and conclusion. The result of empirical study was applied on new technologies like RFID, Mobile identification and Biometrics, to investigate whether new identification tools and techniques cover the challenges on today’s identification and what future works they might need to focus on.
