GINI: Global Identity Networking of Individuals - Support Action.

In GINI-SA research will be devoted to the development of a Personalized Identity Management ecosystem where individual persons will control their own Individual Digital Identity (INDI) space. Identity management services will include the ability to establish and manage a multi-instance INDI which they can link to authoritative data sources, present it to transaction and interaction parties, attach it to messages and profiles. People will own the data and supply them, or links thereto, as and when they choose to enter into dynamically managed trust relationships with service providers or other peers, based on their choice of multi-level assurances that will enable appropriate supply, handling and storage of identity data based on proportionality and minimization principles. Privacy will not just be respected, but will be greatly enhanced. The goal of this FP7 Suport Action is the development of a research and implementation roadmap forecasting developments and suggesting initiatives to be undertaken, mainly by the research community but driven by institutional stakeholders, in order to fill the remaining gap towards implementing the user-centric vision.
