Toward an Attribute-Based Digital Identity Modeling for Privacy Preservation (1908.05945v3)

Abstract: Digital identity is a multidimensional, multidisciplinary, and a complex concept. As a result, it is difficult to apprehend. Many contributions have proposed definitions and representations of digital identity. However, lots of them are either very generic and difficult to implement or do not take into account privacy issues. Seeing how important privacy master is, it becomes a necessity to rethink digital identity in order to take into account privacy issues. So, this paper aims at proposing an attribute-based digital identity vision for privacy preservation purposes. The proposed model takes into account identity theft, security, and privacy.
