Privacy, identification and authentication
Web Science[1]
- Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.[2]
- Identity is (in the context of web science) information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.[3]
- Authentication is the act of confirming the truth of an attribute of a single piece of data claimed true by an entity. In contrast with identification, which refers to the act of stating or otherwise indicating a claim purportedly attesting to a person or thing's identity, authentication is the process of actually confirming that identity.
