Identity management (IdM) or Identity and Access Management (IAM) are necessary for federated services, cloud services, and even distributed technologies such as blockchain. IdM is an integrated system of policies, processes, and technologies allowing organizations to process and manipulate the identities of their users and their devices in authentication, authorization, accounting, and auditing procedures.
IdM and IAM are relevant research topics that continue to receive attention from service providers. For example, providers should ensure the protection of the resources they offer and their users’ privacy. Research and practices in identity management must consider often conflicting points, such as ease of use, robust authentication mechanisms, user privacy and anonymity, security, single sign-on and continuous authentication, scalability, fine-grained access control, interoperability, and total cost of ownership.
The XIV Digital Identity Management Workshop (WGID) aims to be a forum to bring together researchers and those interested in the area for discussions and technical presentations of work around the state-of-the-art methods and technologies related to identity management. Furthermore, the presentation of ideas and work in progress is very welcome, as well as the sharing of practical experiences, whether positive or negative.
