Yet, as evidenced by a number of high-profile data breaches in the past few months, the current need to protecting our PII exceeds the capabilities of existing security, privacy and interoperability technologies. Meanwhile, data breaches and resultant identity theft are imposing enormous societal economic costs and personal hardship for individuals who have had their PII compromised.

It encompasses the methods and technology for assessing and protecting the information required to make decisions about online trust relationships. Establishing a system for trust management requires a common infrastructure for specifying policies that can protect yet enable access to data and systems, representing identities and credentials, and evaluating and enforcing an organization’s policies — all while maintaining privacy.
