Towards a new model of management and securing digital identities

Abstract

The exponential growth of the web and the use of social networks in our area, gave birth to a new concept called digital identity, it's all digital traces that can be left in the internet such as photos and various comments. However, these digital identities are exposed to many dangers such as phishing, fraud, cyber-crime and identity theft. However, with an interconnected world, it is important to know with whom we communicate. Hence, the weightiness of digital identities' security becomes obvious. In this paper we propose a secure identification approach using a model of digital identity recognition. To do so, we will develop an architecture that can identify users based on a certain number of parameters, such as: federated digital identity management and certification of digital identity.
