Review Of The Cyberspace Policy And Trusted Identity Documents

Abstract

This paper gives a brief but substantial review of two documents promulgated by the U.S. Office of the President: the Cyberspace Policy Review and the National Strategy for Trusted Identity in Cyberspace.   An identity ecosystem, consisting of participants and infrastructure, is proposed and an operational framework is envisioned.  The underlying concepts are substantial, and the overall implications should be of interest to the academic, business, and government communities.
