Abstract

This chapter presents a model that addresses some shortcomings associated with limitations in the way that electronic identities are used in an application environment. This model, Snowflake, allows the exchange of validation data in order to establish trust when identity attributes are used in applications. Snowflake leverages upon groups of validation authorities as electronic intermediaries to facilitate application interoperation. The application area of choice is the electronic reporting of fish catches by a vessel’s master in line with the European Union legal framework. Grouping together the services of multiple validation authorities maximises the utilisation of resources available especially in environments that do not shy out in sharing resources and data such and the electronic fish logbook provides a good platform in this respect.
