In a world of Internet and cloud computing, the issue of ‘identity’ is not a cut and dried thing. Software applications and their data sit in many more different locations now i.e. not just on your computer or your mobile device, but inside a cloud datacenter, inside a firewall and perhaps inside a ‘workflow’ process that is connected to all of the above. Knowing who owns what data and what applications and/or databases should enjoy access privileges to what data is a matter of ‘electronic identity’, if you will.
