This video, an Introduction to Digital Identity by Stefan Brands is from the Google Tech Talk series. This talk was held about a year ago (Jan. 25, 2007). Its an hour long, so get your drinks and munchies ready. As Google Tech Talks go, this one is not overly technical.

Note: the volume is a bit unstable in this video. It starts out loud, about 5 minutes in goes quiet, and continues to change periodically.

ABSTRACT

Identity management is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of electronic communication and transaction systems. Applications such as electronic commerce, social networking, electronic health record management, government online, and enterprise identity and access management all critically rely on the ability to manage, provision, and authenticate the “identities” of people, devices, processes, and other entities.

Each of these has unique characteristics with regards to security, privacy, …

Coaching moment: In this video, you see an introduction to user-based identity. You’ll also hear that this is where the friction starts to develop as people and corporate interests start to disagree on how to implement the future. If you’d like to have a say in one future or another, learn more about the topics of single sign-on, user-centric or user-driven services, and tools to control your digital domain. Talk with your friends about it so the terms become familiar. The stronger our collective personal voice, the harder it will be to erase our personal interests.

I have never much liked photographs. I don’t like my picture taken (though there are many out there), and I don’t have an extensive library of family or travel shots. That said, I moved recently and in going through my worldly possessions, I discovered small stores of photos and slides that I put aside with intent to “deal with them” later on.

A quick review revealed that the appropriate way for me to deal with them was to a) throw them away, b) send them off to the subject of the photos, c) save to scan and I don’t know what else yet. Oh, and d) rip into tiny pieces, set on fire, and laugh while the bits burn. (Precious few in the latter category.)

Additionally, I have had a digital camera in my possession for the last couple of years, so I’ve been trying to be “one” with my friends who have hundreds or thousands of photos online. Now I have  a couple of years of my life stream (albeit rather punctuated).

I just imported all of my digital photos into my photo organizing program. In one visual moment, I saw  Read more…
