ON THE IDENTITY TRAIL
QUOTE FROM SITE
A central objective of the project is to develop
an interdisciplinary dialogue that will generate research results of
practical value to policy makers and the broader public. Our project
brings together North American and European research talent from
varying disciplines and sectors. The twenty-three participants on our
team are determined to have a positive influence on policy and
technological outcomes. They include a distinguished array of
philosophers, ethicists, feminists, cognitive scientists, lawyers,
cryptographers, engineers, policy analysts, government policy makers,
privacy experts, business leaders, blue chip companies, and successful
start-ups. Our research partners include institutions in the public,
private and not-for-profit sectors.
Research results will be of special interest to corporations and to domestic as well as international governmental bodies. We aim to have an impact on the public and private sector, the individual as a consumer, and the individual as citizen, affecting the way that we communicate and transact business with one another, our moral discourse, and our approach to law reform and social policy.

The project consists of three streams:
- Stream 1 - nature and value of identity, anonymity and authentication
- Stream 2 - constitutional and legal aspects of anonymity
- Stream 3 - technologies that identify, anonymize and authenticate
