October 31, 2006The identity metasystem, CardSpace and privacy
I just came across this whitepaper which discusses how CardSpace (formerly InfoCard), together with the Identity Metasystem - Microsoft's vision for an interoperable architecture that allows Internet users to use context-specific identities in their various online interactions - address Internet user privacy.
The paper is worth a read if you're interested in understanding how CardSpace works (it's on its way with Vista after all), both from an architectural and user perspective. Even if you're not particularly interested in the technology, it provides a good summary of the threats to and challenges of privacy assurance as well as EU data privacy law (which as you will find is not just an issue for organisations established in the EU).
