I have a sneaking suspicion that the most successful call to action in the world is Forgot Password?. That small link that sits below a password field is my friend. After all, I have passwords for every blog, social media site, news sites, business sites, bank, retailer and online tool or cloud provider that I use. The use of passwords is, in itself, a personal big data challenge that I have yet to solve.

I was discussing definitions of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) with some lawyers today, one of whom took exception to the US General Services Administration definition: information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual". This lawyer concluded rather hysterically that under such a definition, "nobody can use the internet without a violation".

Few technologies are so fundamental and yet so derided at the same time as public key infrastructure. PKI is widely thought of as obsolete or generically intrusive yet it is ubiquitous in SIM cards, SSL, chip and PIN cards, and cable TV. Technically, public key infrastructure Is a generic term for a management system for keys and certificates; there have always been endless ways to build PKIs (note the plural) for different communities, technologies, industries and outcomes. And yet "PKI" has all too often come to mean just one way of doing identity management. In fact, PKI doesn't necessarily have anything to do with identity at all. This blog is an edited version of a feature I once wrote for SC Magazine. It is timely in the present day to re-visit the principles that make for good PKI implementations and contextualise them in one of the most contemporary instances of PKI: the FIDO Alliance protocols for secure attribute management. In my view, FIDO realises PKI 'as nature intended'.

Not a glib title, but reality, though maybe difficult to see as the three topics tend to be treated separately. Digital Business usually means private sector, whereas Smart Cities even at the level of improved user access to ‘retail’ style services, is very much Public sector. As a result adding increased awareness through the Internet of Things, IoT, is usually focused around one or the other. Sadly this isolation has the makings of an expensive mistake as maturity brings the Internet of Things, IoT, and the resulting data access into wider, shared usage.

Do your new, and exciting, moves into Digital Business make money? Well of course they do, or you wouldn’t be doing them, but is it really that simple? Many first steps don’t seem to be making as much money as expected, and do you really feel in full financial control of this new business activity with all its new technology based components? At the heart of this is a simple fact; I have yet to meet, or even hear of, a CFO from a traditional Enterprise who could put together a really accurate spreadsheet for a Digital Business unit.

A repeated refrain of cynics and "infomopolists" alike is that privacy is dead. People are supposed to know that anything on the Internet is up for grabs.In some circles this thinking turns into digital apartheid; some say if you're so precious about your privacy, just stay offline.
