Author

Subjects
Identity theft -- Prevention, Virtual reality -- Research, Data security -- Research, Virtual reality technology, Data security issue, Social sciences
Abstract

This paper analyses how major institutions are publicly responding to the crime of identity theft. It concentrates on how individuals are encouraged to responsibilize themselves against this potentiality, and what they should do in the event they are victimized. These two distinct discourses (prevention and victimization) aim to fashion a hyper-vigilant citizen whose daily routines, home environment, consumption patterns and sense of self are being brought into accord with wider power dynamics. These measures can be understood as encouraging a care of the virtual self--a wider social project characteristic of an informational age that encourages individuals to reduce the risks and maximize the potentialities related to their data double. In the context of identity theft, however, institutionally promoted methods for the care for the virtual self transcend what is reasonably practicable for most citizens and mask the role played by major institutions in fostering the preconditions for identity theft. Keywords: identity theft; responsibilization; information security; governance; care of the virtual self.

Abstract

The use of identification technology by commercial entities has broad and, for some consumers, disturbing social implications. This two phase study was done to specify consumers' concerns regarding various identification technologies which may be encountered in retail environments. From the qualitative findings, a 26-item survey was constructed to quantify identified areas of concern with 303 survey participants (147 women and 156 men), whose mean age category was 30 to 39 years. Using exploratory factor analysis (principal components with varimax rotation), five dimensions of consumers' concern emerged: privacy, ethics, health, humanity, and complexity.

Abstract

This article looks at one of the evolving crimes of the digital age; identity theft. It argues and explains that if three key technologies were implemented together namely biometrics, smart cards, and PKI, then they can deliver a robust and trusted identification and authentication infrastructure. The article concludes that such infrastructure may provide the foundation for e-government and e-commerce initiatives as it addresses the need for strong user authentication of virtual identities. Key words: identity theft, e-government, G2C, online authentication, biometrics, smart cards, public key infrastructure, INTRODUCTION Identity theft has become the fastest growing crime in the world (1),(2). Undoubtedly, the expansion and increasing sophistication of identity theft threatens the adoption of many strategic information technology [...]
