OpenID is an ‘identity network’
No one provider holds the key Users choose who holds their identity
Technology is open Built on existing web technologies
Do users really care?
Why change from email address + password when it works for me?
Information Cards, CardSpace, Identity Metasystem, and all that…
“Now, with the debut of the InfoCard identity management system, Microsoft is leading a network-wide effort to address the [phishing] issue. To those of us long skeptical of the technology giant's intentions, the plan seems too good to be true. Yet the solution is not only right, it could be the most important contribution to Internet security since cryptography.”
Lawrence Lessig, Wired Magazine, March 2006.
Personal cards:Self-asserted claims
Managed cards:‘Trusted’ claims, asserted by identity provider

Requires identity selector to be installed
Little, if any, current support for mobile devices
Cards are not easily portable
Future directions?

Consistency through browser support?
