Abstract
A system and method provide a framework for networked identity management in a user-centric model by providing the ability for a user to delegate permissions to release identity information, by enabling a mechanism for releasing one of a requested plurality of data sets and by providing facilities for the retrieval of identity information from an external server. Anonymization of identity data is enabled through the use of an anonymizer system that can optionally be integrated with an identity store such as a homesite.
