Vittorio Bertocci and Caleb Baker: Understanding CardSpace and the Complexities of Identity

Charles — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 00:14:01 GMT

What's going on in CardSpace World these days?

Recently (and fortuitously), Vittorio Bertocci and Caleb Baker were meeting in Vittorio's office (probably discussing some top secret CardSpace stuff...:)) so I barged in on them with camera rolling (Vittorio is my hallway neighbor and used to these antics).

Here, we dig into CardSpace and touch a bit on its future. It's a very interesting technology, but I think there's some confusion around it so I set out to get the scoop from some people who really understand this compelling identity system stuff.

We also talk a bit about the relationship of CardSpace to Windows Live ID (how they can interoperate, etc). Here's some good reading on the subject. Vittorio and Caleb are also co-authors of a new book, Understanding CardSpace.

Tune in.

For the bandwidth-challenged, here's a lo-res download.

VS2008 Training Kit: Integrating Windows CardSpace

DavidAiken — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:30:37 GMT

Hi and welcome to another Visual Studio 2008 Training Kit screencast.

This session was presented by Nigel Watling and is the from the Visual Studio 2008 training kit available from http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7602397.

Windows CardSpace provides users with a simple, consistent and secure way to authenticate to applications. Passwords are made redundant by taking advantage of public key cryptography and presenting the user with a set of cards to represent their digital identities. These identities can be provided by the user and by third parties (e.g. banks, employers, government). CardSpace has privacy features, protection against phishing, and support for multi-factor authentication (e.g. smart cards). By utilizing open, standard web and web service protocols, it can be used with any web or web service application, regardless of platform, with minimal effort from the developer. With .NET Framework 3.5 comes an improved UI and the ability to use CardSpace over http as well as https. This session covers both CardSpace fundamentals and the new features.

Recorded September 2007.

Hi and welcome to another Visual Studio 2008 Training Kit screencast.

This session was presented by Justin Smith and is the from the Visual Studio 2008 training kit available from http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7602397.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows CardSpace are powerful technologies for services, workflows, and identity management, respectively. This talk introduces developers to all three technologies, describes how they work, and how to write applications that take advantage of their features. Topics covered include: SOA basics, WCF architecture, WCF bindings, hosting WCF services, WCF behaviors, WF architecture, WF activities, WF hosting, WCF and WF integration, CardSpace basics, and integrating CardSpace into web applications.

Building portals with Silverlight, AJAX and Cardspace

yizhe — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 11:24:34 GMT

In this video, the speaker will explore why Microsoft technologies are the ideal technologies for building portals that are fully immersive, highly interactive and secure. A real life case study will also be discussed.

Online Banking with Windows CardSpace

nigel.watling — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 22:28:47 GMT

This demo shows how Windows CardSpace can be used for online banking, providing a more secure and streamlined experience for users (no username and password, strong authentication and phishing repellent).

The Wachovia website is built using Corillian's Voyager platform which includes support for information cards. Cards are issued by the bank to its users and the user authenticates via the card and an Arcot Systems' software-based smart card.

The demo was originally shown at the RSA Conference 2007.

ARCast.TV - DinnerNow.net Windows Cardspace (Part 2)

rojacobs — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 14:13:57 GMT

Do you ever get those nasty phising emails? Of course you do. You and I know what to do with these but what about dear old grandma? How can we protect people from being tricked into giving away usernames and passwords? How about by changing the way we ask people to identify themselves. This area needs a rather large overhaul and Windows Cardspace is a very cool way to do it. On this episode Nigel Watling and I chat about how Windows Cardspace is used in DinnerNow.

Links

DinnerNow is a demo app that shows off... well, just about everything.

WPF, WCF, Powershell, and more.

If you like what you see here, head out to the DinnerNow site for links to the application and the source.

Fun group of people. Jason Olson was there, too - many of you probably know Jason from either the Coffeehouse or his site. He's been away from the office for a while now, though, as he recently became a father. Congrats, Jason :)

Proof Pudding: Identity Metasystem and CardSpace Interop in Action

Charles — Tue, 29 May 2007 18:50:23 GMT

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!).

Windows CardSpace in One Minute

nigel.watling — Tue, 08 May 2007 01:25:46 GMT

This demo shows the Windows CardSpace user experience in IE7 and FireFox. It only takes a minute* so anyone can see what's involved without having to become a world expert in Identity (although you may be tempted). This is a technology that everyone can, and will, benefit from.

* I overran by 15 seconds. If you use the Fast Play Speed in Windows Media Player you can get it down to about 50 seconds!

Configuring IIS7 to support Windows CardSpace sites

RichTurner — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:37:35 GMT

In my previous screencast, the "In this screencast, I walk through the processes of configuring IIS7 on Windows Vista to enable a site to support Windows CardSpace:

Configuring IIS7

Creating an SSL Certificate

Adding an HTTPS binding to the default website

Finding the cert's private key using PowerShell

Setting permissions on the private key (using ICACLS)

Adding the Simple Windows CardSpace demo site

This will hopefully make it a great deal easier for you to understand how to build dev/test/live rigs that can support Windows CardSpace.

Enjoy! [H]

Vittorio Bertocci: WS-Trust - Under the Hood

Charles — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 18:24:36 GMT

Most developers will never need to dig into the gory details of WS-Trust and WS-Security: CardSpace, WCF and non-Microsoft stacks take care of the details for you.

But you’re not like the others, are you! Making decisions on design & architecture requires deeper understanding of every option.

Tune in and watch Vittorio unfolding on the whiteboard how keys are exchanged, what’s the magic behind digital signatures, how relying parties use policies, how exchanges are secured at the message level and more, in complete platform independence. This information is just as valid even if you approach WS-Trust from non Microsoft technologies.

Vittorio's blog has a wealth of information. Check it out.

Kim Cameron - Identity Laws

scobleizer — Thu, 07 Jul 2005 00:38:59 GMT

Kim Cameron has caused quite a stir with his Identity Blog. He came out with a whitepaper called "the Laws of Identity" which has caused quite a bit of conversation.

So, we went over and talked about, what else, identity online. It's important for developers (and companies) to think about.
