2 new great reviews for our book, and status after 1/2 year of availability

It's since April that I don't write about the book (at the time we released the entire Chapter 2 on MSDN ). Last week I received notice that 2 new reviews were published: one is from the Denver Visual Studio User Group , the other is on Paul Van Brenk's

The Tao of Authentication (Part III - last)

(continues from Part I and Part II ) Finally we've lined up all the elements we need for understanding how we can get rid of the 1-2-3 tyranny, and deal with our business requirements directly instead of relying on an old model that forces us to perform

The Tao of Authentication (Part II)

(continues from Part I ) You can consider this post and the fine grained analysis we made in Part I as a down payment for grasping the implications we'll see in Part III, which I plan to post in few hours (almost done). I was planning to have just 2 parts,

CardSpace & surveillance

Well, don't get fooled. I'm not going to make any big philosophical considerations about technology and privacy (though I may do that in the future), but I will talk about the little project I've put together after three gintonics & the MIX party

Kim on our book "Understanding Windows CardSpace"

As mentioned in a post last November , Kim himself made us the huge honor of writing the foreword of our book "Understanding Windows CardSpace" . Today I had the same thrill as, while opening his blog , I've seen he dedicated an entire post to it ! You

NoSSL sample: a class for checking signatures of tokens sent to the RP in clear HTTP

[Edit: attached the sample app files] In short: I show a simple class that checks the signature of self issued tokens sent on a normal HTTP connection (as opposed to HTTPS); the same class takes care of generating a UniqueID and giving access to claims.

The long-tailed Tasmanian mouse is out of the bag

You know, even before considering its merits (and they are many): I've always *LOVED* the sheer fact that the Higgins project exists . Higgins in the tangible proof that all this user centered identity talking truly is a movement that touches everyone.

The Tao of Authentication (Part I)

From time to time it's healthy to challenge the assumptions, and look at (allegedly) familiar things with new eyes. Few weeks ago I had to do just that with the idea of authentication : I wanted to shake a bit an audience of architects, and make them

Mike jumps on the OpenID Foundation board of directors

Good news everyone! Our very own Mike will represent Microsoft on the OpenID Foundation board of directors, which to me seems a natural choice given all the work he has done in that space (for example, this ). Wait a minute, a Microsoft representative

On the idea of Portable STS (P-STS)

Already Sunday evening. It was a weird weekend, partially spent under the influx of powerful pain killers (dentist played alpinist with my jawbone: and no, do not expect any aesthetical improvements). That's probably the reason for which I recalled this
