Identity security

Definition
Identity security is

"[t]he security of who a person is, or the evidence a person uses to prove who they are."

Overview
"Identity Security is a balancing act between three drivers: • confidentiality and privacy &mdash; protecting an individual's evidence of identity from being compromised (stolen, duplicated, misused etc); • integrity &mdash; maintaining the integrity or correctness of an individual's identity information; and • availability &mdash; maintaining access to the identity information to those who should have access."
