Welcome to Digital ID World

Digital identity isn't simply about single sign on, reputation systems and the centralization of identity data by Big Brother. Rather, digital identity covers a world that many don't usually see as identity. "Today, identity in computing is mostly being revealed by the symptoms of its absence," writes Phil Becker, who -- along with colleague Eric Norlin -- will anchor ZDNet's newest blog -- Digital ID World.

Phil and Eric will deliver news and perspective on the various identity technologies -- and how these apply to business and social uses of networked computing. For your business' most critical security issues -- auditing access for compliance, preventing identity fraud, stopping data leaks -- you'll find this new blog an invaluable resource.
