Spock's Risky Take on Trust, Privacy, and Identity Management OnlineCreated by Catherine Howell (University of Cambridge) on December 04, 2007
This post sort of follows on from my musings on Pownce, and the relative (in)utility of the current glut of social networking "services". Received any Spock trust invitations lately? Spock, a self-described “people search application that allows you to see what your friends and colleagues are doing on the web”, could potentially tell us something about the future of metasearch engines—those clunky crawlers that tried, and mostly failed, to bridge the gap between structured web directories like Dmoz, and the chaotic openness of Google’s PageRank™ technology. Although its interface design, a web-2.0-ified “Google Classic Home”, is so trendy that I’m afraid it’s already terribly dated.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that it is seeking comments on the use of Social Security Numbers (SSNs) in the private sector. This inquiry is in response to a recommendation in the President’s Identity Theft Task Force Strategic Plan that called for the development of a comprehensive record on the uses of the SSN in the private sector and evaluate the necessity of those uses.

Identity Management ...Created by Theresa Rowe (Oakland University) on December 18, 2006
Identity Management assembles several streams of activity around identifying members of the university community and provisioning services for those community members. Universities need methods for discovering new members of the community and making sure those members have access to the services that the individual members need. Identity management can be used create a single-authentication environment, moving to a single sign-on environment, and then sharing that authentication among several universities in a federation. When used for service provisioning, access to private or limited resources can be controlled through identity management strategies. A growing aspect of Identity Management is the creation of access and traffic logs. These logs allow us to differentiate the activities of those authorized community members from activities that are not authorized, particularly those originating from those outside the community. We can trace and answer “what happened.” Compliance requirements (e-evidence or HIPAA, for example) may require retention of logs for extended periods of time. I like to think that university networks and systems operate within a set of ethical principles. Our networks are open highways where communities are free to travel. There may be limited entrance and exit ramps, particularly to special services (like interstate highways). Cars are licensed to travel wherever the driver chooses, but travel is not monitored or permanently recorded in a log. Some destinations are not easily accessible or have limited access; there are locked gates and perimeter walls.
