Faceted Id/entity: Managing representation in a digital world

I recently stumbled across this master's thesis on faceted identities - it 
is very similar to some of the ideas we have been discussing regarding 
maintaining multiple pseudo-identities, but with more of a emphasis on 
sociable environments than privacy concerns.

It even includes a description of a prototype designed to securely manage 
faceted identities:

I thought it was quite interesting and relevant.

enjoy
