Identity Systems and Threats: Towards a Holistic View

• Upcoming
• Tentative
• Breakout Sessions

Digital identities are crucial building blocks for our modern digital infrastructure. Over the last years, numerous governmental initiatives have been launched to establish certified digital identities, which are supposed to provide strong identification guarantees of their holders for digital processes in governmental as well as private sector applications. As a consequence, there are high security requirements for this type of identity system and all of its components. In this talk, we present relevant threat models on different layers of a system architecture for such a system and discuss potential challenges when composing their results. We thus argue for the necessity of a holistic approach to understand the threats against this type of a system.

Possible additional co-Chair (if registered): @carbeer
