Abstract :
The exponential growth of the web and the use of social networks in our area, gave birth to a new concept called digital identity, it´s all digital traces that can be left in the internet such as photos and various comments. However, these digital identities are exposed to many dangers such as phishing, fraud, cyber-crime and identity theft. However, with an interconnected world, it is important to know with whom we communicate. Hence, the weightiness of digital identities´ security becomes obvious. In this paper we propose a secure identification approach using a model of digital identity recognition. To do so, we will develop an architecture that can identify users based on a certain number of parameters, such as: federated digital identity management and certification of digital identity.
