• Are adds with your name on them coming?

  This is in the NYTimes: To get one reading of this, I asked four Web giants - AOL, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo – a simple question: can they show you an advertisement with your name in it?

• Social Network Stack proposed by Phil

  My friend Phil Wolff over at Skype Journal has been thinking about Social Network Stack - He had a great diagram there and describes it this way: We need a new stack to sort out social media’s plumbing. Introducing the Social Stack’s Six Zones of Interoperability. * ID (Account lifecycles, Login) [...] Read More...

• On My Way Back Home

  Well, after being on the road for nearly a month, I'm now back in San Francisco for the next few weeks. I started out with a vacation in Belize for the third year in a row along with a bunch of friends. Didn't dive as much as previous years, but really enjoyed the trip, others learned to dive, and it was quite relaxing. From there I took a red-eye back to San Francisco to attend Collective Intelligence FooCamp down at Google Friday and Saturday. It certainly was interesting, though much more focused Read More...

• Ping Identity acquires Sxip Access

  Today Ping announced the acquisition of Sxip Access business from Sxip. Chuck sent me the following picture on how he likes his coffee even more. Okay….so he didn’t exactly said that. Nor do I know if he is drinking coffee or vodka. However, I do believe that Identity for SaaS is an area that’s [...] Read More...

• Ceremony?

  First Yahoo! defined its own OpenID ceremony. You can make the argument that Yahoo! is a big enough identity provider that they warrant their own button. Does that argument hold for that other major IDP Clickpass ? I do appreciate that the inefficiencies of spam for marketing to me are being addressed. No need to rely on sporadic emails. Clickpass prompts users to return and log in day after day... after day. Read More... Posted Tuesday, March 11, 2008 4:32 PM from ConnectID | 1 Comments

• Understanding Windows CardSpace

  You know you’re seriously an identity geek when your spare-time reading is Understanding Windows Cardspace. But for this rapidly rising new branch of the digital identity space, a book with this much good information about Microsoft’s CardSpace technology is definitely worth the investment. About half the book is background on the entire problem space that information [...] Read More...

• Christian Clarifies Credentica Cardspace Claims

  In a comment , Microsoft's Christian Paquin clarifies the 'U-Prove works' claim. Hopefully we might work together in the future to “demonstrate” these claims! Deal. Read More... Posted Tuesday, March 11, 2008 12:05 PM from ConnectID | 1 Comments

• Connectid Acquires 'Web Log of Esoterica'

  First Microsoft picks up Credentica, now Ping buys Sxip Access (allowing Sxip to focus on 'making the Internet simpler and safer', phew). All these acquisitions make me think that unless I make a move I'll be left behind. Consequently, I have entered into negotiations with Conor Cahill for the purchase of the assets associated with his (recently comatose) blog . Analysis of his readership convinces me there may be some value in those few posts of Conor's that link to this blog. Once the deal closes Read More...

• STS? Available!

  In my Post STS? Coming Soon! I linked to information about the upcoming framework for writing STSes (and more) from Microsoft. Unfortunately this is not yet available. Along with Barry and David I am very happy to announce SharpSTS - a C# library for developing Information Card security token services. You can find the source code on Codeplex and a demo website here . Don't expect a "click setup.exe and everything is fine" installation experience. There is still a lot of work to do. But you can get Read More... Posted Tuesday, March 11, 2008 2:32 AM from www.leastprivilege.com | 1 Comments Filed under: CardSpace;IdentityModel;WCF
