Jeet Jagasia spoke about CardSpace, which is part of the new .NET 3.0 Framework. Heer are some points I caught:
- Protect users from phishing attacks
- Self-Issued card data is stored locally
- Managed card data is stored on provider's server
- User maintains the identity meta-data for all cards belonging to him|her.
Ulitimately, this API will support easing the "identity" hassles of the internet or smart-client applicaitons.
