Using CardSpace in Low-Value, Low-Overhead Situations

Thu Nov 29 17:06:00 2007

Kim Cameron has a nice post, including a screencast on how to use CardSpace in low-value, low-overhead installations like blogs. (By "low-value" I mean that the cost of a bad authorization decision isn't high, e.g. a spam comment).

Finally! An InfoCard Selector for OS X

Tue Sep 18 16:27:00 2007

I posted a short piece at BTL about the Bandit project's InfoCard selector for the Mac. There have been some solutions in the past, but they were hard to install or flaky. This one is solid and the install is a breeze.

Bandit's Cross Platform Selector

Thu Jun 28 14:25:00 2007

Novell asked me for a quote for this press release on the Bandit cross-platform card selector. I said: "For the vision of user-centric identity to thrive, ecosystems like information card selectors have to extend beyond a single operating system. As a vendor of a major Linux distribution, Novell is in a great position to lead the use of information card selectors on Linux. I'm very encouraged by these developments." I haven't tried building the card selector for OS X yet. If anyone beats me to it, I'd love to hear a report. As I said in my post about

Linking OpenID and CardSpace: SignOn.com

Tue Jun 26 17:42:00 2007

PingID (disclaimer: I'm on the advisory board) released the beta of SignOn.com today. SignOn.com is an OpenID identity provider that also accepts InfoCards. Once you've signed up, you can register an InfoCard with SignOn.com, you can use that to authenticate when you use your SignOn id at a Web site. Confused? Here's an example: I go to Jyte.com and click "login" Jyte asks for an OpenID, so I give it my SignOn OpenID (windley.signon.com) SignOn asks me to authenticate (since I'm not currently logged in there) and I choose to authenticate with an InfoCard The card selector pops up,

User-Centric Identity Tutorial Resources

Tue May 8 14:16:00 2007

Banff Springs resort. (click to enlarge) I gave my tutorial on user-centric identity today. There were around 40 people there--a good crowd and very interested in identity. I promised that I'd post a list of resources, so here we go. First, my slides in PDF format. Warning: the upload from the hotel is going very slowly, so this probably won't be available until later tonight. Here's the tarball for the demonstration code I did with OpenID. I add authentication to a simple Web application using a separate, general login controller. There are pictures in the slides. It's in Perl.

Relative Celebrity and Reputation

Mon Mar 5 17:59:00 2007

Britt's working on a concept he calls Relative Celebrity. The idea is that in the world of the long tail, there is some ranking and "every member of a network must be related to someone who is closer to the action - relatively speaking, a celebrity - and also act as a valued conduit of news, gossip and conjecture for others, acting as that person's relative celebrity." It's an intriguing idea and one that makes me think about reputation and it's value in a global Internet sense. To date, online reputation systems have been localized to a particular Web

Making CardSpace and OpenID Interoperable

Tue Feb 6 11:14:00 2007

Microsoft, JanRain, Sxip, and VeriSign have agreed to work together to make OpenID and CardSpace interoperate. This isn't totally unexpected since the community has been moving forward in this direction. Kim Cameron has been discussing the details of how it might work in recent weeks. Here are the specifics from the press release: As part of OpenID's security architecture, OpenID will be extended to allow relying parties to explicitly request and be informed of the use of phishing-resistant credentials. Microsoft recognizes the growth of the OpenID community and believes OpenID plays a significant role in the Internet identity infrastructure.

Jamie Lewis Keynote: The Evolving IdM Landscape

Wed Sep 13 10:46:00 2006

Jamie Lewis, CEO of Burton Group(click to enlarge) Another highlight of DIDW each year is Jamie Lewis' keynote. Jamie is the CEO of the Burton Group (and, incidentally, wrote the forward to my book on Digital Identity). He believes that the market has moved beyond the products and suites stage to the services stage. Good news for the people I've met at the conference this year who are hoping to build service-based businesses. Stronger authentication is not going to solve most of the problems we see in the identity space. User IDs and passwords are still around and replacing them
