Problems of Identity Management (IDM)

«Please enter your username and password ...». A familiar scenario? Which user is not often encounter on this challenge on the Internet?

Countless personalized Internet services require a user profile and password. But who can remember all these? Therefore the temptation is great to use the same password for each subsequent registration. That in turn will bring you big risks for your personal privacy!

With the increasing shift of business to the Internet the requirements will raise for a trusted and efficient user identification. With this context, cyber crime increases rapidly in correlation with rigged and stolen identities! Why?

• Countless personalised Internet services results to a huge number of identities for the user (username/password)
• Passwords are forgotten or are often used in low strengths and same combinations

• Identity data is transmitted unencrypted (no https:// )
• Use of different authentication methods, such as proprietary tokens, smart cards, code generators, etc.
• Technological excessive demand of the user

>> Increasing the IT security usually results to a reduction in user-friendliness
