Abstract
There are two problem areas of the current Internet to be solved in Future Internet scenarios—security and putting the user back in control despite the move to the Internet of things. With this in mind, we address problems associated with the diversifying of the Internet towards an Internet of things, and with increased ways to be reachable, whether the user wants it or not, in the digital world. The paper presents two approaches to cope with the problem: The Identinet and a concept designated by the digital shadow. The paper presents an architecture based on these concepts.
