People who’ve followed this blog for a while know that I’m very interested in the debate around government issued ID cards currently taking place in Britain. Like Americans, Britons aren’t used to compulsary ID cards. The proposed British scheme is based on a single universal identifier used across all government contexts and possibly [...]
OK. Just when I thought I was on top of Eric’s new posting regimen, he has to publish this - not on ping, this time, but on cnet!
The numbers have been staggering: 145,000; 13.9 million; 40 million.
I’m speaking, of course, about the recent rash of data loss–the innocuous term for millions of accounts [...]
Speaking of which, Eric Norlin has belied his marketing nonchalance by admitting he’s reading a blog intended for… true techies!
This is an interesting weblog for our true techie-readers out there: A weblog written by a Microsoft employee that is devoted (apparently) to the technical implementation of weblogs.
I think he maybe meant “technical implementation of [...]
Eric Norlin seems to be bloging on the Digital ID World site as well as his own site. I’m checking into what’s he’s posting where and will let you know. Whatever the story, here’s a post after my own heart:
I’m sorry, but reading the first paragraph of this story made me think that [...]
When I presented the Laws of Identity at the DIDW conference, someone asked how we would “enforce the laws”. I tried to explain that the laws are not what Bob Blakley calls “desiderata” - things that we would like to see. They are the objective characteristics of an enduring identity system at Internet [...]
Here’s some more interesting thinking by Andre Durand - CEO of Ping.
Bryan, David and a few others over here in Pingland were kicking around some afternoon whiteboarding ideas on InfoCards. Figured since I’m getting back into my bloghead, I’d start posting a bit more…
It centers on the user. Users rule.
It [...]
Andy Harjanto, one of my really good friends at Microsoft, has just started Andy’s InfoCard Blog - specifically dedicated to helping people understand and work with Microsoft’s “InfoCard” Identity Selector and the Indigo programming environment. For those new to the discussion on this blog, an Identity Selector is a component of what we think [...]
Dan Farber and David Berlind, quintessential professionals, have made Between the Lines an indispensible source of information for all of us who follow IT issues. Now they seem to have recruited Phil Whindley, a leading expert on digital identity, who contributed this posting. By the way, the pantheon they have assembled also includes [...]
Jon Udell has responded to my question about whether his approach to meme-tracking could be used to determine whether the increased reporting of identity breaches was leading to desensitization or increased watchfulness:
Bruce Schneier wonders if the ongoing reports of identity loss are creating a boy-who-cried-wolf situation. Are people starting to tune this stuff out? And [...]
Mary Branscombe of Britain’s The Guardian posted an article today on the Identity Metasystem and “InfoCard” in which she accurately captures the essence of the technology (and the opportunity for the industry) and explains it clearly to her wide and important audience - all in just a few paragraphs.
Microsoft’s InfoCard could integrate the [...]
