Identity is one of the web’s next big problem, so the Identity Mash-up conference should be a very interesting place to be on June 19 and 20.

The goal of the conference is to explore the role of identity systems in furthering or inhibiting privacy, civil liberties and new forms of civic participation and commerce.

We touched on these issues at LIFT, with Marc Besson talking about securing identities, and Bruno Giussani explaining that we enter an era where you can’t control your identity anymore (video here).

Michel Jaccard m’a parlé de cette conférence qui s’est tenue il y a trois semaines à Montreux. Espérons que cette déclaration, demandant que la protection de la vie privée devienne un droit fondamental, sera entendue.
