First of all, identity, the scope covered by the term identity includes multiple dimensions such as culture, society, region, psychology, politics, belief and so on. At my current level, it is unrealistic to want to cover all aspects of identity. The identities I want to talk about today only take a small part of them. Identity is the state or society’s definition of a person.

Speaking of digital identities, the prevailing view is that after the popularization of the Internet, digital identities will follow. The development stages of digital identity have roughly gone through centralized identity, federated identity, user-centric identity, and autonomous sovereign identity.

To sum up, identity is the foundation of politics, economy, and culture, yet there are still tens of thousands of Internet participants who cannot prove their identity. “How to prove that I am who I am?” is a philosophy. In my case, I was a UVIC student first and then majored in economics. So I will use the knowledge circle of economics to create my digital identity, plus I am a UVIC student to make my digital identity more real. When creating my personal study space, having UVIC as a professional academic platform has brought me a lot of conveniences. I was able to join some online discussion groups with the help of this platform, where many colleagues and teachers exchanged opinions and answered my doubts. This experience helped me avoid detours on the academic road.
