Description: Identity is a characteristic or quality that defines a person or entity. In the technological context, identity refers to the unique representation of a user, device, or service within a system. This representation can include credentials, attributes, and roles that enable authentication and authorization across various platforms and applications. Identity management is crucial for ensuring security and privacy, as it allows control over who has access to what resources and under what conditions. In an increasingly digital world, identity has become a fundamental aspect of interacting with numerous services, including cloud services, enterprise applications, and social networks, where identity verification is essential to prevent fraud and cyberattacks.
