I just put a story up at Between the Lines about the InfoCard selector that Novell demo'd today at Brainshare. Very cool stuff.

Identity Management Panel

Thu May 25 09:11:00 2006

I attended an identity management panel moderated by Arnaud Sahuguet of Google. On the panel were Rick Hull, Bell Labs, Conor Cahill, Intel, Kim Cameron, Microsoft, Mike Neuenschwander, Burton Group, and Stefan Brands, Credentica & McGill University. Arnaud started off with the famous "no one knows your a dog" cartoon and the ACLU pizza video. He asked each panelist how many different identities they have. The answers ranged from 40 to 313 (Cahill knew exactly). Kim said he uses classes of identities (my own strategy) for different kinds of sites. Converged networks (wireless, television, Internet) make the problem of

IIW2006: Tuesday Morning Sessions

Tue May 2 11:31:00 2006

Monday Dinner(click to enlarge) Last night's conference dinner was very well attended and very good. We started the morning in true unconference fashion by putting together the agenda. This happens by having anyone who wants to lead a session write it down on an 8.5x11 inch piece of paper and post it on a time grid on the wall. Everyone who posts something gets an opportunity to say something about their session. the agenda is fairly full and there are some good topics. Putting together the agenda(click to enlarge) Kaliya said that the guy who invented open space spent a

IIW2006: SXIP, InfoCard, XRI, and Doc

Mon May 1 17:54:00 2006

The new "just right" room(click to enlarge) We moved upstairs to accommodate the crowd and ended up with a lot more elbow room. Dick Hardt was the first speaker after the break. he gave a new version of his famous Identity 2.0 talk. Dick mentions BCeID, a government identity service that forms a basis for digital identity in BC. I've long argued that governments have abdicated the responsibility for provide commerce supporting infrastructure online. (By "infrastructure" I mean legal frameworks more than hardware and software.) BCeID looks to be mostly about government online services, but Dick points out that he's

InfoCard and MediaWiki

Wed Apr 12 14:59:00 2006

A few days ago, I mentioned that we'd put up a version of MediaWiki that supports OpenID for the Internet Identity Workshop. I know that Johannes Ernst and others trying to get it all working with Yadis generally. A month or so ago, Kim Cameron InfoCard-enabled his Wordpress blog. I'd love to see this all working together. Is there any MediaWiki code that does InfoCard yet? If so, can these things co-exist?

Blatant Ripoff?

Sat Apr 1 11:59:00 2006

I'm not sure what to make of this. Last month, I was interviewed (for about an hour) by Celeste Biever who was writing a story on InfoCard for New Scientist. The story came out yesterday. Also yesterday, I got a Google News alert that pointed me at this story from TMCnet. The story seems to be the New Scientist story, at least the first few paragraphs are the same--New Scientist puts the rest of the story behind a paywall. The TMCnet story references New Scientist, but provides no link and doesn't say that Celeste Biever is the author. TMCnet

Achieving Ubiquity With an Identity Metasystem

Wed Nov 2 18:17:00 2005

Brett McDowall, who gave a presentation on Liberty at IIW2005, has started a blog. At IIW2005, he said "the world belongs to those who show up" and his blog is an effort to "show up" in the blogosphere. Brett notes that there's a lot of misunderstanding about Liberty Alliance, even (or maybe especially) among the IIW2005 crowd. Some of that's FUD, but as he notes, there are technological barriers. The primary one he notes is that RESTians aren't likely to jump on board SOAP just for the privilege of using an identity infrastructure. I was interviewed this afternoon by

IIW2005: Mike Jones on Identity Metasystems

Wed Oct 26 11:47:00 2005

We're trying to get to a world where there is a ubiquitous, user-centric identity solution for the Internet. The result should be a safer, more trustworthy Internet. Mike is showing a user experience for InfoCards, Microsoft's proposed identity solution. First time I've seen it. The solution, of course, is very thick client oriented since InfoCards is built into the OS. The vision is nice because there's a common experience for using InfoCards across every Web site. A ubiquitous identity solution must accommodate mutually contradictory requirements based on context. For example, most of the time we don't want people to
