Topics: Finance
M. Eric Johnson
Springer, March 2012
Center director Eric Johnson and Indiana University computer scientist Jean Camp reveal the business models of identity thieves and examine potential solutions for organizations and consumers. Financial identity theft is well understood with clear underlying motives. Medical identity theft is new and presents a growing problem. The solutions to both problems however, are less clear. The Economics of Financial and Medical Identity Theft discusses how the digital networked environment is critically different from the world of paper, eyeballs and pens. The Economics of Financial and Medical Identity Theft also presents an overview of the current technology for identity management. The book closes with a series of vignettes in the last chapter, looking at the risks we may see in the future and how these risks can be mitigated or avoided.
