Today there was a burst of great Identity news from Microsoft: I don’t know from where to start!!! 🙂 The Open Specification Promise (OSP) welcomes under its umbrella the Identity Selector Interoperability Profile. If you are not familiar with the OSP, the bottom line is that an open source project or a vendor…
Caching is one of the topics that sooner or later arise when you reason about cardspace. If I use the same card across different applications at the same time, or in a short period of time, can’t I cache the card? If with a certain application I reuse the same card all the…
In the last loooong post, the one about using CardSpace together with the new Receive activity featured by the Beta1 of the framework 3.5, I mentioned I would have attached the final solution: however I didn’t do it right away, to give some incentive to actually go through the simple steps of the tutorial. …
In short: this is a step by step tutorial for creating from scratch a Workflow Service with the Beta 1 release of Visual Studio codename “Orcas”. The tutorial shows how to secure the service with Windows CardSpace, how to create a client application on the fly and how to access claims from the…

No, it’s not a reference to the noise I manage to produce all by myself 🙂“A Crowd of One” is the very suggestive title of the latest book from John Henry Clippinger. It came out few days ago, and I’ve just got my fangs on a copy (usual Borders) on my way back…
As tradition requires (see exhibits a, b and c), here there’s the canonical, eigencelebrative post about the fact that it’s n years that I mantain this blog feed (where n=4). I could comment on how everything changed in this last 4 years, but for the time being I’ll spare you 🙂 I’ll just remark…
