Where does a password end and an identity begin? A person might be more than his chosen ten-character combination, but does a bank know that? Or an email provider? What's an 'identity theft' in the digital age if not the unauthorized use of a password? In untangling the histories, cultural contexts and philosophies of the password, Martin Paul Eve explores how 'what we know' became 'who we are', revealing how the modern notion of identity has been shaped by the password. Ranging from ancient Rome and the 'watchwords' of military encampments, through the three-factor authentication systems of Harry Potter and up to the biometric scanner in the iPhone, Password makes a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the words, phrases and special characters that determine our belonging and, often, our being. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aObject lessons. 606 $aIdentification$vPopular works 606 $aPassing (Identity)$vPopular works 606 $aAuthentication$vPopular works 606 $aSecurity systems$vPopular works 606 $aComputers$xAccess control$xPasswords$vPopular works 606 $aLiterary theory$2bicssc 615 0$aIdentification 615 0$aPassing (Identity) 615 0$aAuthentication 615 0$aSecurity systems 615 0$aComputers$xAccess control$xPasswords 615 7$aLiterary theory 676 $a005.8 700 $aEve$b Martin Paul$f1986-$0803034 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597144003321 996 $aPassword$92947463 997 $aUNINA
