Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Failure to authenticate equals cybercrime. This is the sole reason for the world's most prolific criminal activity and it is a byproduct of the creation of the Internet and the ensuing ‘electronification’ of our world. Until we can solve the failures associated with authenticating people, cybercrime will not only persist, it will become systemically worse and the associated costs greater.
