Communication is at the core of everything, from casual social media interactions to mission-critical business transactions. But with increased digital dependency comes a pressing question: How do we ensure identity security without sacrificing convenience? This is where Identity Management in Communication steps in, serving as the bridge between trust and seamless interactions.
What is Identity Management in Communication?
Identity management in Communication comprises a comprehensive set of strategies and technologies that identify, verify, and manage a person's digital identity across communication channels. Hence, it ensures that a person claiming a certain identity is who he claims to be. This establishes trust and reduces the risk of fraud against a person or unauthorized access.
The Pillars of Secure Communication
The digital landscape is filled with risks. Data breaches, phishing attacks, and identity theft are just a few dangers riddling online communication. An Identity Theft Resource Center 2023 report revealed that over 1.3 million complaints of identity theft were submitted to the Federal Trade Commission alone-an alarming 57% rise from 2020. Because of these startling statistics, the need for robust identity management solutions is increasing.
Effective identity management in communication is based on the three pillars of authentication, authorization, and accounting.
Authentication
The process confirms the claimed identity of a person who may want to enter into a communications channel. Some of the common ways of authentication are by using passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and digital certificates.
Authorization
After the end entity has been authenticated, the level of access within the communication channel will depend on an individual's authorization. This assures that users will perform only those actions authorized by their specific role or permissions.
Non-Repudiation
This tenet creates an unquestionable record regarding the initiator and all other parties involved in a communication. It ensures that persons cannot deny involvement in an exchange, hence improving accountability and trust.
