The Seven Laws of Identity 93
In 2005, Cameron distilled the results of the discussions in a
single white paper, ???The Laws of Identity,??? where the main ?¬?ndings
are summarized in concise format. The white paper lists
seven ???laws.??? They are principles to which, according to the
previously mentioned investigations, an identity management
system must comply to be viable. Since the white paper??™s publication,
the identity laws have become immensely popular and
are considered by many the manifest of the new user-centered
identity management movement. The seven laws, listed in their
concise form, are as follows:
1. User Control and Consent
2. Minimal Disclosure for a Constrained Use
3. Justi?¬?able Parties
4. Directed Identity
5. Pluralism of Operators and Technologies
6. Human Integration
7. Consistent Experience Across Contexts
The identity laws are not dogmatic by any measure, nor are they
blindly prescriptive. Ultimately, they are a set of sound and
pragmatic principles, derived from real-world experience, that
anybody can verify at any given moment.
