• Relationship Cards (R-Cards)

  So much for the naïve thought that I’d have time at the Burton Catalyst conference last week to finally blog about two subjects near and dear to my heart that I knew would be covered at the conference. It backfired because they were too topical—all available time was consumed by related conversations. I did manage two [...] Read More...

• openid is toast

  Mike (one of those who need no sleep) blogged about Fun Communication's openid idtheft site and I encourage you to read Mike's post and try your personal idtheft immediately. Back here?! Well, you knew all this already, didn't you? But seeing it in action is another thing, I guess. So where does this lead us? Remember the " openid dogfight " from September 2007? I too think that we need a spectrum of solutions. I agree that openid is for when an RP has "trivial" security requirements, but I think Read More...

• EclipseCon 2008

  I just got back from EclipseCon 2008. The other Higgins co-lead, Mary Ruddy, and I gave a tutorial on Higgins. And Mary gave a talk about the business side of open source. We met with Ian, Bjorn and Mike and discussed the recent release of Higgins 1.0 and how to drive adoption of Higgins and [...] Read More...

• 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...

• Ryan Janssen Takes Me Back

  Ryan Janssen pinged me via my contact page last week to ask if I had time to share the story of how I came to be working on XRI, XDI, OpenID, i-cards, Higgins, and Identity Commons. He reached me this afternoon and we talked for almost two hours. Boy, did it bring back memories. I’m [...] Read More...

• OpenID leads to Information Cards

  After a long pause you can hear the voice of the master of the identity metasystem again here . Kim Cameron explains why the success of openid leads to the success of CardSpace information cards. Some sometimes forget that there are "alternative operating systems identity selectors". Examples are of course the openinfocard identity selector or the higgins based identity seletor digitalme .

• Higgins 1.0.0 released!

  Here’s the press release from Eclipse. We’ve been getting lots of congratulations from friends. Which feels great. Thanks to all of you. The next trick will be building awareness and adoption. When you consider that 0% of all websites (or enterprise apps) accept i-cards or OpenID, and 0% of sites issue cards, it’s small wonder [...] Read More...

• OpenID + Information Cards…

  Congratulations to my friends at the OpenID Foundation on the news that Google, IBM, Microsoft, VeriSign, and Yahoo! have joined the board. I’ve been in lots of meetings in the past week and the buzz is everywhere. This happy event has jogged me into writing a few thoughts about OpenID technology and how it fits nicely [...] Read More...

• Drink from a fire hose

  Next week is the Higgins F2F Meeting in Provo, Utah. All are invited! (easy for me to say, as Dale Olds is our host!). As you can see the topics range from unification with OpenID, to Selector UI harmonization, to Selector Selector design work, to SAML/STS IdP harmonization, IDF requirements for IdAS, XDI restful web [...] Read More...

• Paul Madsen on the i-card taxonomy

  Paul Madsen has done a nicely illustrated post on the taxonomy of i-cards supported by the Higgins project. He makes a great point about how SAML cards (”s-cards”) could fit in, both in terms of third-party cards and self-issued cards. As I posted previously, I’m excited about seeing SAML integrated into the Higgins framework. My only [...] Read More...

• i-cards, s-cards, post-cards ...

  Paul Trevithick just announced that Higgins will start developing a SAML 2.0 compliant card selector, that will - in addition to Windows CardSpace compatible i-cards - support SAML 2.0 compatible "s-cards" [1] . This will be quite interesting to follow, in particular if Higgins really supports the SAML 2.0 protocol (not only the token format). In that case it would really step up to be part of the identity meta system (actually: the Aleph 0 Identity System ). PS: Welcome in the blogosphere, Paul! Read More...

• Higgins speaks SAML

  Paul Trevithick just posted about a significant new step for the Higgins Project – the first contributions adding support for SAML 2.0. At first blush that may not seem surprising – SAML is the granddaddy of modern Internet identity protocols – but it speaks volumes precisely because Higgins established its early reputation as an alternative [...] Read More...
