This DIACC white paper is based on research performed by DIACC member Consult Hyperion and developed in consultation with DIACC through a community review process, provides an objective and impartial comparison of identity networks. Considering the different types of identity networks that currently exist or are being developed, and using ‘Mary’ as an example, the paper presents a high-level framework with which to understand and assess them, offering guidance to those who are considering participating in such a network.

Decisions concerning the security of information are frequently taken on a different basis to other business decisions. Necessary investments may not take place on the grounds that the returns are not easily quantifiable, when compared with other investments, or in the blithe hope that “it will never happen to us”. Conversely, “fear, uncertainty and doubt” can lead organisations to divert funds towards information security that might be better spent else-where. This paper presents Structured Risk Analysis (SRA), a method to help organisations take rational steps to improve their information security.
