Track: Security Date: Thursday, August 4th, 2005 Time: 4:30pm - 5:15pm Location: E144 2005 has been called the year of Digital Identity.

Ernst provides a brief overview over the LID (a light-weight, but powerful, decentralized digital identity technology based on URLs, XPaths and PGP) protocol and implementations (Perl, Java, ...), explains how to incorporate it into server-side and mobile applications, and focuses on the impact of widespread, interoperable "bottom-up" digital identity on software design and business models.
