I am a graduate student at Purdue university and this is my primary research focus for my doctoral studies. I think today's identity management concerns actually affect a huge population and has some serious concerns with the upcoming web technologies. Therefore there is never lack of motivation to work on its various aspects. Please feel free to post comments and contact me.

This includes analysis of several fundamental security aspects like privacy, accountability, threat assesment, usability and deployment costs. Is providing the name enough or will the user have to provide other proofs of identity "<em>to get authenticated</em>". It may also depend on how many of these proofs are actually public. Check out <strong>zabasearch.com </strong>to see examples of how much of user data is actually accessible based on just the first and last name. Pay a little, and see more! Since this is my first blog I will not go into further detail at this point but I think this is a very important aspect to be investigated thoroughly.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20849745-113703596847422578?l=bhargav-spantzel.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Abhilashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733906165005599775noreply@blogger.com0
