During TechEd 2008, I participated in a Panel discussion on Web Services Interoperability. Microsoft just put up the tape on their TechNet Library site . They also have a WMV video feed , and a MP3 audio-only feed . Read More...

Just back from Orlando, here are some takeaways from this year's TechEd 2008 for IT-pros: Interoperability with SOAP based web services is progressing: I was part of a panel on interoperability, moderated by Chris Haddad. It was a fairly diverse panel, with speakers from Microsoft, WSO2, Tibco, and Sun. While there was general agreement on the usefulness of the more basic WS-* specifications like WS-Security, opinions differed on where the future lies and how it can be achieved. In my opinion, the Read More...

Microsoft Germany offers the Microsoft 360° Security Days to German speaking architects, project managers and developers. One session for architects and project managers is about Microsoft CardSpace . I really hope this will be an inspiring talk given by a true believer of the claims paradigm. It's a pity that a participant can not provide her claims by using information cards during registration for the event. Anyway, I am happy that CardSpace is a topic. We need more events that advocate information Read More...

This is seriously groundbreaking: Clemens (also here ) just finished an example of a Metro client accessing Microsoft's BizTalk Services (aka Internet Service Bus). "Well", you might ask, "what is so groundbreaking about this? Isn't this what this whole web services thingy was supposed to achieve? Interoperability?!" Yes, indeed. However, this is the first time ever (to my knowledge) that Microsoft is releasing JEE code, built with Metro within NetBeans, as part of an SDK . Getting there took quite Read More...

This is such a smart move of Microsoft! I am impressed and I am sure that Credentica's technology will lead to a privacy improved version of CardSpace. I hope that Microsoft will provide open access to this technology for others to implement identity selectors, relying parties and security token servers. CardSpace is token agnostic but when I have read the U-Prove papers correctly then there is more then one roundtrip between id selector and STS required to deliver all the nice features. The protocol Read More...

Across the wires this morning comes news from Kim and Stefan that Microsoft has acquired Credentica 's U-Prove technology and the services of Stefan and his Credentica colleagues. I'm curious as to why the news isn't simply 'Microsoft acquires Credentica', but business is sometimes like that, I guess. Anyway, congratulations to Stefan and co! I've been following their technology for a few years now (I even worked my way through Stefan's book - well, most of it - some of the formal proofs were a little Read More...

I've always felt that one of the most important tasks for a parent is to teach their kids to not be gullible. I routinely work on such training with my kids. In fact the other day, I was way into the story about how Los Angeles schools, while not getting many snow days, do get closed for bad hair days. Unfortunately, while my daughter was well into the "realy?" stage, my wife piped up with "They do not!" cutting me off at the knees. Nothing is a better example of the importance of such training than Read More...

My Dell Latitude D830 came with Microsoft Vista which, for the most part, has seemed like a prettied up XP without a lot of added useful functionality nor a substantial increase in stability. At the time I upgraded, I wrote that I was like so close to buying a Macbook Pro . I am sorry to say that I regret that decision even more today. What got me to that stage? Well, it's a long painful path and to be honest, I'm not at the stage (yet) that I'm ready to just give in and replace my fairly new laptop. Read More...
