After multiple half-completed goes at this, I've finally got a 
reviewable draft finished.

Constructively negative feedback greatly appreciated.

The paper is intended for the Identity Workshop at LSE on 5 June.

Thanks!


A Sufficiently Rich Model of (Id)entity, Authentication and Authorisation
             http://www.rogerclarke.com/EC/IdModel.html

During the last 20 years, the practice of identification and identity 
authentication has been highly unsatisfactory. One important reason 
for this has been that the theory underpinning the practice has been 
seriously deficient.

A model is presented that is argued to be sufficiently comprehensive 
and rich to reflect the relevant complexities, and hence to guide 
organisations in devising architectures and business processes for 
such activities as user registration, 'sign-on' and 'identity 
management'. The sufficiency of the model is evaluated by means of 
brief analyses of its application to relevant categories of entity 
and identity.
