{{Quote|an entity's [[online]] presence, encompassing [[personal identifying information]]. It can be interpreted as the [[codification]] of identity names and [[attribute]]s of a physical instance. The use of digital identities is now widespread as the entire collection of [[information]] generated by a person's [[online]] activity.<ref>[[Big Data: Big Today, Normal Tomorrow]], at 1.</ref>}}

"A digital identity is always unique in the context of a [[digital service]], but does not necessarily need to be [[traceable]] back to a specific real-life subject. In other words, [[access]]ing a [[digital service]] may not mean that the underlying subject's real-life representation is known. [[Identity proofing]] establishes that a subject is actually who they claim to be."<ref>''Id''</ref>
