Windows Card Space

Windows CardSpace (codenamed InfoCard), is Microsoft's now-canceled client software for the Identity Metasystem. CardSpace is an instance of a class of identity client software called an Identity Selector. CardSpace stores references to users' digital identities for them, presenting them to users as visual Information Cards. CardSpace provides a consistent UI designed to help people to easily and securely use these identities in applications and web sites where they are accepted. Resistance to phishing attacks and adherence to Kim Cameron's "7 Laws of Identity" were goals in its design.

Famous quotes containing the words windows, card and/or space:

    The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;

    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
