Identity in Information Society Journal

Reading some articles in the Identity in Information Society Journal.







IIS is an open journal from the Netherlands, meaning you don't have to subscribe to view the articles.
Open journals are being pushed in the academic world to share information freely, rather than publish and maintain "stovepiped" archives.

Interesting topics in the recent version including:

1. Towards a better citizen identification system
2. Psychic ID: A blueprint for a modern national identity scheme
3. A roadmap for research on identity in the information society

I submitted a manuscript online. Here's the abstract:

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 [HSPD 12] defines a common identification framework for all federal department employees, contractors to gain physical and logical access to federal resources. Corporate and government organizations are implementing identity management and biometric systems to comply with the directive. The goal of this paper is to identify compression methods and requirements associated with biometric image capture for use on PIV Cards and smart cards.
