TechFest 2006 Developer Track - CardSpace

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.
