ThePrivacyPlace.org Authentication Technologies Survey

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

ThePrivacyPlace.Org 2007 Authentication Technologies Survey is underway!

Researchers at ThePrivacyPlace.Org are conducting an online survey about individuals’ experience with and perceptions of authentication technologies. The survey is supported by an NSF ITR grant (National Science Foundation Information Technology Research) and will help us with our investigations regarding digital identities. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

As a way of saying thank you for taking the time to complete our survey, we are also offering the chance to enter a drawing for one of two $50 Amazon gift certificates.

The results will be posted on ThePrivacyPlace.org in 2008.
