Quest for Universal Identification - A Commentary

Choton Basu

Journal of Information Privacy and Security, 2009, vol. 5, issue 3, 44-54

Abstract: This short article is presented as a commentary on trying to understand the underlying impacts of social media and related technologies on privacy and security issues. The focus of this paper is particularly on the individuals and the concept of universal identity (UI) that indirectly results due to the participation in these incredibly pervasive technologies and communication platforms. The author discusses particular features on various sites, socialization and incorporates inputs from interviews and secondary data to support this premise. Finally, lists of key research questions are identified throughout the commentary for future research.
