Background

In Norway, as in many other countries, there is an increasing problem related to identity theft both from citizens and businesses.

In long term the consumers may lose their confidence in relation to governmental systems for protection of personal information.

There are also a lot of examples where private information is unintentionally presented public due to lack of security measures, routines and rules.
