"Who will be the winners and losers in an age when each of us is assigned a digital identity? How will our lives change, and what impact will this revolution have on our personal privacy? In just a few years from now, every citizen of most western countries, and probably many more besides, will be required to carry their digital identity with them wherever they go. Our digital personas will be derived from biometrics that are unique to each of us, such as fingerprints, iris patterns and facial profiles. And this digital identity will open doors, in some cases literally, giving us access to our home, workplace, finances and medical records."
