Adamski: Contextual Identity

Mozilla's Director of Security Engineering, Lucas Adamski, looks at privacy, identity, and security on his blog. "So maybe its not a surprise that many social networks have ended up with privacy egg in their face. Part of the problem is that by presuming that users should have only a single, canonical identity on their network (and indeed, often the entire web), they lack the flexibility for individuals to express their various identities appropriately in different contexts."
