The version of Windows CardSpace that shipped in .NET Framework 3.0 will not run when installed on a FAT file system. We’ve received a surprising amount of feedback (some of the earliest from Pamela Dingle ) that customers are still using FAT file systems and this is causing problems.  This was done because FAT doesn’t provide ACLs and therefore the files CardSpace uses for storing cards can be deleted or corrupted by malicious code running as the user. Since the store files are

The OASIS Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) technical committee has published specifications for WS-Security extensions and policies to enable the trusted exchange of SOAP messages. Their effort resulted in the WS-SX specifications that include WS-Trust , WS-Security policy and WS-Secure conversation. This standardization of WS-Trust is good news. Gartner says that: OASIS's ratification of two key standards means that Web services security has finally reached a level of maturity acceptable to

Hi, my name is Tariq Sharif and I am a program manager in the CardSpace team. After we released CardSpace V1 we received feedback from hobbyists, early technology adapters and site owners that getting/setting up a SSL certificate is hard and it is not needed for some set of their scenario and that this is blocking them from accepting information cards on their sites. Based on this feedback, the feature team decided to remove this requirement for the .Net Framework 3.5 release. In order to invoke

As some of you may know, several of us at IDesign (Juval, Brian and myself) are in the midst of a two-week .NET 3.5 Roadshow - six cities in two weeks where we collectively cover WCF, WF, WPF, CardSpace, federated and claims-based security concepts, and some key aspects of .NET 3.5 such as new C# 3.0 language features and ADO.NET 3.5 including LINQ and the Entity Framework. I'm personally covering WCF security, federated and claims-based security, C# 3.0 and ADO.NET 3.5. For those of you attending
