If this is not
done, an IP may catch an unsuspecting RP off guard
when the change occurs, and the user could be refused
access accidentally.
Summary
Nearly every website on the Internet deals with identities. From
the simple guestbook on a one-page site to the largest commercial
retailers, users are constantly prompted to provide some
details to perform tasks. Although an organization??™s desire to
manage its users gives the website some measure of control, it
might prove valuable to relinquish that control into the hands of
an IP.
Today??™s IPs are real-world entities that are used on a daily basis,
often without even thinking. Banks, governments, and
businesses have successfully sewn together a system that provides
the means to do business, whether that is shopping, traveling
between countries, checking out a book from a library, or
even boarding a bus. The real-world model that exists offers a
path to accomplish the same in the online world. It??™s fair to say
that the right IP can assist the RP in making a smooth and reliable
connection with the user; however, diligence and care
should be exercised when seeking them out.
