Zusammenfassung
Identity management (IdM) facilitates identification, authentication and authorization in
most digital processes that involve humans. Digital services as well as work processes, customer
relationship management, telecommunications and payment systems rely on forms of IdM. IdM
is a business-critical infrastructure. Organizations rely on one specific IdM technology chosen to
fit a certain context. Registration, credential issuance and deployment of digital identities are then
bound to the chosen technology. What happens if that technology is disrupted? This article discusses
consequences and mitigation strategies for identification collapse based on case studies and literature
search. The result is a surprising shortage of available documented mitigation and recovery strategies
for identification collapse.
