This morning I was reading Newsweek (before you get any ideas: I subscribed to BOTH Newsweek and Time) and the interesting account they made about the history of a person. Much is being written on the subject, just browse your favourite news website for the details: however the summary is that this person…
Here there’s the cover sketch for our “Understanding Windows CardSpace” book. As you may have noticed, the Independent Technology Guides series has the tradition of putting an animal on the cover. While all the books of the series have gorgeous cover pictures (I especially like the lion on David’s “Understanding .NET“), I don’t…
Keith mentions he cannot find a good end user description of CardSpace that can be used for introducing the concept to a web site visitor. Keith, we do have such a description 🙂 below there’s a snapshot of it. You can find it in the delivery guide on our community site.
As promised, here there’s a Visual Studio solution for the tutorial I published last week about how to send a CardSpace token from a web page to an AJAX-style WCF service (new feature in Orcas). Enjoy!

This post is totally off topic: nothing to do with Identity, WS-*, Orcas, the cloud, technology in general or any of the usual subjects. I’m just sharing with you something I find pretty amazing 🙂 It’s few months that I have this box on the counter, and my wife has had it. I bought this…
While WS-Trust provides the primitives for playing the token issuing game, WS-Federation builds on those capabilities and enables to describe the behavior of complex scenarios. Microsoft and IBM recently published a joint whitepaper, titled Understanding WS-Federation, which gives exhaustive descriptions of the specification in action on various notable situations. Namely, the paper really…
My team is on the hunt for two new evangelists: one for Visual Studio and the other for IIS7. You can find the details on this post from James, our team manager. Wihout falling in easy rethoric, I can tell you that working in this team is a phenomenal experience. You play with new…
In short: this is the description of a sample that sends a CardSpace-obtained token to an AJAX service implemented with the new Orcas features. Few posts ago I published a tutorial about using CardSpace with Silver. While talking about it with Kushal Shah from the Workflow team, he suggested that it could be…
The monthly report from http://www.antiphishing.org/ is always an instructive read. This April report contains some surprising numbers, as shown by the graphic below: The happy spike you notice in April07 is in fact not happy at all: it shows the efforts of phishers to strain the antiphishing countermeasures offered by IE7 and Firefox 2….
Passwords are bad. It is really necessary to restate it? Wired has a very interesting story about the singer of Linkin Park (one of the most interesting bands in the last years IMHO, but that’s not important here). Long story short, a hacker guessed one password (“Charlie”, not a very strong one) in…
