After a long pause you can hear the voice of the master of the identity metasystem again here . Kim Cameron explains why the success of openid leads to the success of CardSpace information cards. Some sometimes forget that there are "alternative operating systems identity selectors". Examples are of course the openinfocard identity selector or the higgins based identity seletor digitalme .

Here is the press release .

Paul Trevithick just announced that Higgins will start developing a SAML 2.0 compliant card selector, that will - in addition to Windows CardSpace compatible i-cards - support SAML 2.0 compatible "s-cards" [1] . This will be quite interesting to follow, in particular if Higgins really supports the SAML 2.0 protocol (not only the token format). In that case it would really step up to be part of the identity meta system (actually: the Aleph 0 Identity System ). PS: Welcome in the blogosphere, Paul!
