Malicious Social Networking

I've had the chance to talk with Jason about a paper he's writing to explore the ideas of weaknesses in social interactions created in Web2.0. The issues aren't necessarily new, but nuanced with the technologies we have and have not embraced.

Fully embraced public identity management? Not embraced. Full public key non repudiation schemes? Not Embraced. Full disclosure of who you are and what you are doing? Fully embraced.

I'm taking a liberty here in hopes that in his further vetting of the concepts, my terms get picked up.

Identity Cloning (Enders Attack) - The creation of a new digital identity that appears to belong to another person.

Identity Reflection - The copying of the content of the original identity to the created identity. After trust is built in the new identity, subltle changes are introduced for a specified purpose.

Identity Aggregation - The concentration of information from several digital identities to create an identity on a new forum. This would most likely lead to information leakage or identity hijacking.
