Digital identity is the data that uniquely describes a person or a thing and contains information about the subject's relationships.The social identity that an internet user establishes through digital identities in cyberspace is referred to as online identity.
A critical problem in cyberspace is knowing with whom one is interacting. Currently there are no ways to precisely determine the identity of a person in digital space. Even though there are attributes associated to a person's digital identity, these attributes or even identities can be changed, masked or dumped and new ones created. Despite the fact that there are many authentication systems and digital identifiers that try to address these problems, there is still a need for a unified and verified identification system. There are issues of privacy and security related to digital identity.
With all of this information online, and identities easily being stolen protection is need to prevent crime being committed. Social login, also known as social sign-in, is a form of single sign-on using existing login information from a social networking service such as Facebook, Twitter or Google+ to sign into a third party website in lieu of creating a new login account specifically for that website. It is designed to simplify logins for end users as well as provide more and more reliable demographic information to web developers.
Social login is often considered a gateway to many of the recent trends in social software and social commerce because it can be used as a mechanism for both authentication and authorization.
Therefore with more and more of our lives being online, and out interactions with other people online will there be a time when this is our only interaction? Will it replace teachers in schools... The need for pupils to go to school to learn.... The need for people to do anything themselves. This brings in to question will we lose out individual identity and just become all the same? Never the less technology is part of our lives
