Informational Self-Determination by Identity Management

An identity management system enables the user to control the nature and amount of personal information released. Thus, it is an important building block for implementing both privacy protection and multilateral security. We describe requirements and solutions for a comprehensive, privacy enhancing identity management system, which is based on pseudonyms and includes the possible co-operation of all parties involved. Finally, we discuss limitations and risks of such systems.
