Here is a picture created by F. Cavazza on digital identity on the Internet.

When you go to a site, you’re obliged to register and leave a lot of personal information: for ex., you can leave your name, your address, your email, your credit card number, etc, on a lot of different sites.

If you are a blogger, and recognized by the blogging community as a good one, you are a kind of authority on your topic. But if your email address is hacked, another person can take your identity on the Internet.

This is the problem Internet users face: they need to master their identity on the Internet.

The solution is, of course, to be vigilant. But everything lays on trust.

A French blogger has created a company ‘The Todeka Project’ and will make virtual identity something users will be able to control. I do not know all the details now because the site is still being created. It will certainly be in Beta Testing between June and September. I will write another post on it at this time.
