The paper deals with two main issues: (new forms of) digital identity, and access to contents. In this context, "digital identity" is used with a technical meaning, to indicate the information related to a specific user beloging to an organization, clustering around an Identifier (usually the username), an Authentifier (the password), and some attributes (peculiar features to recognize the user, such as status, role, working relationship, office, internal groups, etc.). Username and password are the credentials associated to all people belonging to an organization. Attributes determine resources and services to which the user can access to, possibly way of access, too (e.g. for a certain period of time, with some restrictions, etc.). |
