Windows Card Space

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 house of my body has spoken
    often as you rebuild me like blocks,
    and promise to come visit
    when I’m finally adjusted on safe land,
    and am livable, joist to joist
    with storm windows and screens ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The secret ones around a stone
    Their lips withdrawn in meet surprise
    Lie still, being naught but bone
    With naught but space within their eyes....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
