Abstract: Cyberspace: a world of great promise, but also, of great peril. Pirates, predators and hackers galore; are you and your online identity at risk in this wild frontier? Maybe... Maybe not... In this talk, I will present some of the research that my colleagues and I in Oxford have conducted on this problem, with the aim of exploring the risks to identity security and privacy in cyberspace. To scope this presentation, I focus especially on the risks in the usage of social media, the exposure of potentially sensitive information in email headers, and how our digital device footprints can be used to make unexpected inferences about our lives and friends.
