This workshop will explore crucial issues concerning interoperable identity management technologies for the information society. Identity management has seen a series of development in the recent years. Whereas identity management and federation standards have been solidified and adopted in practice, nations world-wide are investing in electronic identity systems as strong root identities for their citizens offering a promise for strong authentication. Privacy-enhancing identity systems have reached some technical maturity and may offer user authentication with minimal disclosure. At the same time, personal identifiable information and the user's identity has become a commodity to drive the business of global corporations. Whereas such companies sought to bind the users accounts to their unique identity, there has been a reported unrest and anxiety of users because of their diminishing privacy protection. We see identity at the crossroads. One possibility is the unique identification and strong authentication road that may offer increased trust for e-commerce and increasing cloud services. Another is the road of attribute exchange and leveraging the user's personal identifiable information that may benefit business and help users to have a consistent experience among many mobile compute platforms. Finally, there is the privacy-enhancing identity systems road that may offer additional protection for the user's civil rights. Partially these different roads seem to contradict each other. Research can offer roads less taken that overcome these seeming contradictions and come up with next generation identity solutions.
