IMPRINTS Identity Management: Public Responses to IdeNtity Technologies and Services.

印记：身份管理：公众对身份技术和服务的反应。在公民自由的背景下，英国和美国都有一个与身份管理技术、服务和实践（IM-TSP）相关的重要社会议程。公民经常对以电子方式保存的个人信息的数量表示担忧，这些信息可供善意和恶意组织使用。例如，公众对生物识别、引入强有力的边境安全举措以及身份被盗的风险感到焦虑。媒体对公开持有的个人数据记录丢失或恐怖主义威胁等事件的反应，通常会加剧这种担忧。相反，在这种背景下，通过社交网络、客户档案、协同过滤和各种忠诚度计划来共享身份的需求日益增长。在这个项目中，我们通过研究身份管理禁忌和欲望及其文化背景下的因果关系，寻求更好地理解这种焦虑和欲望。我们面临的挑战是了解英国和美国公民对新的IM-TSP的反应方式，并促进跨背景和社区的可信和愉快的身份验证过程，为公民，商业政府和安全部门提供双赢的局面。我们的总体问题是：什么会影响英国和美国公众参与或退出未来的身份管理实践、服务和技术？身份管理的技术、服务和实践处于一种快速的、有些不可预测的变化状态。为了研究公众对这一领域的看法和反应，有必要采取前瞻性的方法。关于IM-TPS当前状态的研究冒着在它准备实施和出版时过时的风险。因此，我们将使用研究、电影、文学、消费者趋势报告、政策报告和安全探索中呈现的未来场景作为我们的第一个核心数据，并使用这些来绘制IM-TPS的预期景观。研究分以下几个阶段进行：1。考虑到英国和美国的不同背景和敏感性，确定最合理的场景，并以书面和视觉叙事、在线化身和离线人工制品的形式表示它们，这些人工制品将在与个人、民间社会、政府、商业和安全行为者的研究中发挥刺激作用。使用一系列传统和创新的定量和定性数据收集方法，包括审议性民意调查，从上述四个部门的英国和美国个人和集体行为者那里对这些情景作出反应；q-sorts;点对点和代际群体研究；互动弹出装置和模拟游戏。3. 分析这些反应，对不同公众欲望和禁忌的潜在个人、政治、社会和文化原因提供多层次的解释。4. 在禁忌和欲望的网格中表示研究结果，为公民，政府，商业和安全行为者定位机会。在此过程中，创建工件和方法，使各种利益相关者能够与公众互动，并在IM-TPS的开发、生产和实施中考虑到他们的关注点。该项目涉及英美合作，将由英国拉夫堡大学管理。它将在与学术顾问和来自四个部门的利益相关者的持续互动中取得进展，代表着两个不同的“董事会”。

IMPRINTS: Identity Management: Public Responses to IdeNtity Technologies and Services. SUMMARYBoth in the UK and the US there is an important societal agenda in relation to identity management technologies, services and practices (IM-TSP), set against a background of civil liberties. Citizens regularly express concern about the amount of personal information that is held electronically and that is available to benign and malign organisations. There are, for instance, public anxieties around biometric identification, the introduction of strong border security initiatives and the risks of identity theft. Such fears are typically heightened by media reactions to, among other things, the loss of publicly held personal data records or terrorist threats. Against this backdrop, in contrast, there is a growing appetite for identity sharing through social networks, customer profiling and collaborative filtering and various loyalty schemes. In this project, we seek a better understanding of such anxieties and appetites, by examining identity management taboos and desires and their culturally situated causes and effects. Our challenge is to understand the way that citizens in the UK and the US will respond to new IM-TSP, and to promote trustworthy and pleasurable processes of identity verification across contexts and communities, providing win-win situations for the civic, commercial government and security sectors. Our overall question is: What will influence UK and US publics to engage and/or disengage with identity management practices, services and technologies of the future? The technologies, services and practices of identity management are in a state of rapid and somewhat unpredictable flux. To examine public perceptions and responses in this field, it is necessary to take a forward looking approach. Research about the current state of IM-TPS runs the risk of being obsolete by the time it is ready for implementation and publication. We will therefore use scenarios for the future as they have been presented in research, film, literature, consumer trend reports, policy reports and security exploration as our first core of data, and use these to map an expected landscape of IM-TPS. The research then proceeds in the following phases: 1. Identify the most plausible scenarios and represent them in the form of written and visual narratives, online avatars and off-line artefacts that will function as stimuli in the research with individuals, and civil society, government, commercial and security actors, taking into account the different contexts and sensitivities in the UK and US.2. Elicit responses to these scenarios from UK and US based individual and collective actors in the four mentioned sectors, using a range of traditional and innovative quantitative and qualitative methods of data gathering, including deliberative polling; q-sorts; peer-to-peer and intergenerational group research; interactive pop up installations and simulation games. 3. Analyse the responses to provide an a multilevel account of underlying individual, political, social and cultural reasons for the different publics' desires and taboos. 4. Represent the outcomes of the research in a grid of taboos and desires that locates opportunities for civic, government, commercial and security actors.5. In the process, create artefacts and methodologies that will enable the various stakeholders to interact with the public and take their concerns into account in the development, production and implementation of IM-TPS. The project involves a UK-US collaboration and will be managed from Loughborough University, UK. It will progress in ongoing interaction with academic advisors and stakeholders from the four sectors, represented in two different 'boards'.
