Identity theft has become a serious, pervasive and increasingly sophisticated crime in North America, one that has a range of negative impacts for individuals, consumers, the corporate sector and governments. All these stakeholders have a role to play in preventing and combatting identity theft.
The CIPPIC ID Theft research project aims to develop well-informed and well-reasoned recommendations for law and policy reform designed to prevent, detect, and mitigate the effects of ID theft.
CIPPIC actively participated in a multidisciplinary research project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Initiatives on the New Economy (INE) Program that focuses on issues of anonymity and authentication.
