Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.
The cover of Digital Identity shows female masqueraders. A masquerade ball is a social gathering of participants who wear elaborate costumes to hide their true identities.
Such gatherings originally gained popularity as elaborate allegorical pageants, celebrating marriages and other dynastic events of late medieval court life. In Italy, during the 15th century, masquerade balls were extended into costumed public festivities held for members of the upper classes.
Masquerade balls are still held today, although they are less formal. "Costume parties" may very well be a descendant of this popular tradition.
