Digital identity is fast undergoing a quiet revolution, one that situates users at the center of identity transactions, granting them greater control over their credentials as they navigate the Web.The movement, labeled “user-centric identity,” is working to refigure identity relationships into a more intuitive structure, bringing, in some cases, the wallet and ID card metaphor to digital identity transactions and, in others, allowing URLs to vouch for user identities. Kim Cameron, chief identity architect at Microsoft, is a central figure in this movement, for which his Seven Laws of Identity provide a foundation.
