Microsoft Identity and Security

Vittorio Bertocci will speak of the three components of "Geneva," which was released to public beta just two weeks ago. "Geneva" is an open platform for simplified user access to applications and other resources on-premise and "in the cloud" and supports the shared industry vision of an Identity Metasystem, which creates a single-user access model for any application or service and enables security-enhanced collaboration. The three components of "Geneva" Vittorio will review include: Geneva Framework, which helps developers build claims-aware applications and services that externalize user authentication from the application; Geneva Server, a security token service (STS) that issues and transforms claims, manages user access, and enables automated federation; and Windows CardSpace Geneva, which helps users navigate access decisions between multiple identities and control how personal information is used.
