Digital identity
L. Jean Camp · IEEE Technology and Society Magazine · 2004

Thus we clarifies the nature of identification in a digital networked world, as opposed to a paper-based world. The examples and the context are identification as used in law enforcement in the United States. Together the definitions and the examples illustrate the importance of developing policies with recognition of the social implications of technical change.
