Full Title or Meme

The act of one Entity assuming the Identity of another Entity, often for malicious purposes. Guardianship is not Impersonation because the Guardian is acting on behalf of and with the authorization of the Identity Owner, and is often legally knowable. Delegation is not Impersonation because the Delegate has a recognizable identity distinct from that of the Delegator.
