Microsoft Pushes InfoCard For Secure Online ID
Todd Bishop reports for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on Microsoft's InfoCard identity management initiative. Microsoft's Bill Gates is expected to talk more about InfoCard during a keynote speech he's giving today at the RSA Conference in San Jose, CA.
Unlike Passport, the InfoCard project is meant to work with a variety of online identity providers, not just one. Microsoft hopes to persuade governmental agencies, banks, online services and others to issue digital cards that people could use to establish different levels of identity for themselves at online sites.
