Economics of Identity Theft (eBook, PDF)

Avoidance, Causes and Possible Cures

Beschreibung

While a plethora of books on identity theft exists, this professional book combines both technical and economic aspects, presented from the perspective of the identified individual. The book discusses privacy as multi-dimensional, and then pulls forward the economics of privacy in the first few chapters. This book also includes identity-based signatures, spyware, and placing biometric security in an economically broken system, which results in a broken biometric system. The last chapters include systematic problems with practical individual strategies for preventing identity theft for any reader of any economic status.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This book is primarily concerned with the interplay between identity management technologies and their associated economic impact. ... Overall, this book provides an interesting oversight of the economics of privacy and an overview of a range of identity management technologies in an economic context. ... It is certainly worthy of perusal, provided that its significant US bias and inconsistency in what is actually meant by 'identity theft' are recognised from the outset." (Stefan Fafinski, Journal of Information, Communication & Ethics in Society, Vol. 7 (4), 2009)
