| Abstract: | It is impossible to make any progress on the security vs. privacy debate, or move towards a political settlement around identity for the coming years, unless we develop a more modern notion of what identity is and how it should be addressed online. So long as we maintain an essentially “Victorian” view of the balance between security and privacy, founded on the central concept of identity as a card in a filing cabinet, then society cannot properly take advantage of technological developments. If it does, then security and privacy are no longer competing concerns that need to be balanced but simultaneous deliverables of an infrastructure founded in utility. |
