Blockchain technology[]
A digital identity is
“ | an online or networked identity adopted or claimed in cyberspace by an individual, organization, or electronic device.[1] | ” |
General[]
A digital identity is
“ | [t]he electronic representation of an entity (e.g., a device, software, service, organization or individual) in cyberspace that is comprised of an information artifact or correlated information sets.[2] | ” |
“ | the unique representation of a subject engaged in an online transaction.[3] | ” |
“ | an entity's online presence, encompassing personal identifying information. It can be interpreted as the codification of identity names and attributes of a physical instance. The use of digital identities is now widespread as the entire collection of information generated by a person's online activity.[4] | ” |
Overview (General)[]
"A digital identity is always unique in the context of a digital service, but does not necessarily need to be traceable back to a specific real-life subject. In other words, accessing a digital service may not mean that the underlying subject's real-life representation is known. Identity proofing establishes that a subject is actually who they claim to be."[5]
