Review by Wendy Grossman on ZDNet (November 2007).
"David Birch, the book's editor, [writes] a lucid analysis of the challenges and crucialities that this technology has to face."
"Digital Identity Management is worth reading, for its interesting contributions and for its defects too, which are not just faults of the editor or the authors, but represent well the dynamics and uncertainty of the challenging issue of digital identity management."
Review by Marco Cremonini in Info Security magazine, p.43 (October 2007).
"It is a very good introduction for anyone wanting to grapple with the subject, coming complete with a wealth of case studies and detail."

What they said…
"He is an expert, engaging and witty writer. What he writes is worth reading and amusing. He decided to team up with the excellent Jane Adams, a journalist and editor with significant experience of the payments world, to create what they call a “blook” – in other words a book of a blog. This “blook” is an experiment and so it has been published without a big publishing house or ISBN number. The result deserves to be pursued as a concept, although I think this first attempt gets us only part of the way there. The good news is that if – like me – you are a fully paid up, one hundred per cent proof digital money anorak, you will find plenty of material here to provoke you and to get you giggling. "
