        Techopedia explains Digital Identity

         

        Like its human counterpart, a digital identity is comprised of characteristics, or data attributes, such as the following:

         
           
        • Username and password
          •  
        • Online search activities, like electronic transactions
          •  
        • Date of birth
          •  
        • Social security number
          •  
        • Medical history
          •  
        • Purchasing history or behavior
        A digital identity is linked to one or more digital identifiers, like an email address, URL or domain name. Because identity theft is rampant on the Web, digital identity authentication and validation measures are critical to ensuring Web and network infrastructure security in the public and private sectors.
