ABSTRACT
Recent trends bring Identity concepts into the application layer, although usually focusing in web environments. While this enables new solutions, interactions and paradigms at the application layer, the lower layers are neglected, and considered irrelevant for identity purposes. However, making Identity information available to the OSI stack enables enhanced protocols, which better integrate with A4C mechanisms, and provide better cross-layer integration. We present a solution to integrate identity information into all layers of the OSI stack, and enhance it with resolution mechanisms, enabling full fledged use of Identity by lower layers, such as transport and network. In particular, a new mobility paradigm can be created through an identity-dependent design.
