Proof Pudding: Identity Metasystem and CardSpace Interop in Action

Posted By: Charles | May 29th, 2007 @ 11:50 AM

There’s been a ton of progress with CardSpace identity interop recently. Microsoft has created 4 open source projects enabling devs to handle information cards using Java, Ruby, PHP and C. The Identity Selector Interop Profile is under the Open Spec Promise, Shibboleth has announced support for Information Cards, and Information Cards will be used by many OpenID providers to enable phishing-resistant authentication. CardSpace People Nigel Watling, Mike Jones and Garrett Serack got together with Pat Felsted from Novell in the “Identity Metasystem Lounge” at MIX07 to show the Mac, Linux, Windows, FireFox and IE – amongst others – seamlessly handling digital identities (dodgy network cable permitting!).

So when can I sign in to any site supporting Window Live ID just by clicking on my card? Don't forget blogs.msdn.com and other sites. Big Smile

I like the tech but you should put the snowball rolling from Redmond.

Watch the video again! We mention when Live ID - and thus all sites using Live ID - will support information card login (unless someone edited that bit out Smiley

)

Nice shirt, Nigel. What did you say?: "There is no excuse for not enabling CardSpace support on a website?". You should talk to the guy responsible for http://channel9.msdn.com/login.aspx about this, then Smiley
