As an outcome of the discussions that have been taking place here in the Blogosphere - and in-person meetings - it is exciting to convey the following joint announcement by JanRain, SXIP Identity, VeriSign and Microsoft:
JanRain, Microsoft, Sxip, and VeriSign will collaborate on interoperability between OpenID and Windows CardSpaceâ„¢ to make the Internet safer and easier to use. Specifically:
- As part of OpenID’s security architecture, OpenID will be extended to allow relying parties to explicitly request and be informed of the use of phishing-resistant credentials.
- Microsoft recognizes the growth of the OpenID community and believes OpenID plays a significant role in the Internet identity infrastructure. Kim Cameron, Chief Architect of Identity at Microsoft, will work with the OpenID community on authentication and anti-phishing.
- JanRain, Sxip, and VeriSign recognize that Information Cards provide significant anti-phishing, privacy, and convenience benefits to users. Information Cards, based on the open WS-Trust standard, are available though Windows CardSpaceâ„¢.
- JanRain and Sxip, leading providers of open source code libraries for blogging and web sites, are announcing they will add support for the Information Cards to their OpenID code bases.
- JanRain, Sxip and VeriSign plan to add Information Card support to future identity solutions.
- Microsoft plans to support OpenID in future Identity server products
- The four companies have agreed to work together on a “Using Information Cards with OpenID” profile that will make it possible for other developers and service providers to take advantage of these technology advancements.

[...] One more (big) step to make Identity work … WS-* or REST? Is there an epic battle? How does Microsoft think about a big chunk of the web development community ignoring the beloved WS-* specs and preferring “HTTP programming”? Answer: We think that people make these choices of good reasons and we like and support any way you want to write services. As a matter of fact, we’re engaging with the community to make both, the WS-* stack and the HTTP/REST better to work with and make them a safer environment for, well, everyone. In the spirit of the last statement, Bill Gates has just announced at the RSA conference (and our Chief Identity Architect Kim Cameron blogged) that we’re working with JanRain, Sxip, and VeriSign to integrate CardSpace with OpenID and help making OpenID more resistant against phishing attacks by allowing relying parties to request and be informed of the use of phishing resistant credentials. We’ll also integrate OpenID into future Identity products. On the OpenID side, you can expect direct support for CardSpace Information Cards on infrastructures that use the OpenID products from these vendors. If you ask me, that’s pretty big. But working here it’s not as much of a surprise as it might be for people on the outside. We’re very closely looking at what the community is building and asking for and if we see technologies or initiatives out there that gain lots of traction (such as REST programming, JSON or OpenID) I don’t see a “wasn’t invented here” attitude around anymore around here these days. We’ll have REST support and JSON support (and RSS and Atom) in the next version of the .NET Framework and we’ll have broad support for OpenID in our Identity infrastructure. At the same time we’ll continue to work with industry partners to make the enterprise-messaging features in WS-* work better and, as demonstrated by the OpenID announcement, that “WS-* stuff” actually comes to the rescue of OpenID for phishing defense.

CardSpace is already available for XP. It ships with .NET Framework 3.0.
If you have .NET 3.0 installed, you can access CardSpace from Control Panel.
This is very encouraging. Keep up the good work. Now if I can just find a really really simple, step - by - step tutorial with sample code to integrate OpenId and CardSpace into an ASP.NET 2.0 website using the standard or custom Membership, Profile and Roles providers, I will be a happy developer.

[...] Microsoft and AOL have announced support of OpenID. At least, AOL’s 63 million users are all now OpenID enabled; but that’s not to say that any of them will have noticed yet. And “Microsoft plans to support OpenID in future Identity server products”; meanwhile, “JanRain, Microsoft, Sxip, and VeriSign will collaborate on interoperability between OpenID and Windows CardSpaceâ„¢ to make the Internet safer and easier to use.” Seems like one of their priorities is address the phishing issues associated with OpenID (see Phishing for OpenIDs).

[...] Since I was in an “identity mood”, my next session was a panel discussion on Digital Identity. The panel (shown in photo, mentioned from left to right) consisted of Kim Cameron from Microsoft (also known as the father of identity - make sure to read his blog here), Scott Kveton formerly at JanRain, Kaliya Hamlin the Identity Woman and Marc Canter from Broadband Mechanics. The discussion was extremely interesting (and heated at times), with a lot of references to OpenID and the CardSpace / OpenID collaboration announcement. [...]
