DasBlonde, Calgary bound October 29th

One of my favorite speakers, whom I rarely get to see, is coming to Calgary. Courtesy of The Calgary .NET User Group this months speaker is Michele Leroux Bustamante, aka DasBlonde, will be presenting at the Nexen Conference Centre Theatre on October 29th at 5pm (my Birthday! Yay for me). Michele will be presenting about Windows CardSpace.

CardSpace is a client technology that is part of the .NET Framework 3.0 that allows users to create, manage and share their digital identities in a secure and reliable manner. CardSpace makes it possible to create personal identities that replace the common user name and password for an application - with the strength of certificates and without the complexity. CardSpace also supports installing identities issued by third parties for authentication. This session will provide an overview of the identity metasystem in which CardSpace plays a role, and describe how it helps to prevent identity theft and increase trust in online transactions. You'll learn how to create and manage information cards, how they are used to generate tokens with the help of a Security Token Service (STS), and the role of the STS when CardSpace is incorporated in the authentication story for ASP.NET Web applications and WCF services and clients. You'll also learn how to trigger CardSpace from ASP.NET or WCF applications and services.

Should be fun so come on out and welcome Michele to Calgary. You can register for the event (free) here.
