Liberty seeks to define ID theft by creating lexicon

China Martens (IDG News Service) writes in InfoWorld:

Standards body the Liberty Alliance Project believes it can contribute something currently missing from the ongoing debate on tackling identity theft -- a lexicon of terms defining exactly what constitutes ID theft. The alliance, which focuses on developing open standards for federated network identity, revealed its work on the lexicon Tuesday.

Liberty has been working on the lexicon since establishing an ID-Theft special interest group (SIG) in April in Dublin, according to Michael Barrett, vice president, Security Strategy and Architecture for American Express Co. and the former president of Liberty Alliance. Liberty announced Tuesday that it has rechristened the SIG the Identity Theft Protection Group. Barrett is the co-chair of the renamed group along with Alex Popowycz, a member of the Liberty Alliance management board and vice president for Fidelity Investments.
