Eve was kind enough to link to my earlier article on our CardSpace Deep Dive. In that post she mentions our whiteboard notes, that I took at picture of, after all: Cards based on X.509 authentication are almost working ……
Not about SCUBA this time: we are right now visting in Redmond so we can test our implementation of a Windows CardSpace compatible IdP against Microsoft’s implementation. Eventually, we will (hopefully) make this code available to the OpenSSO community through…
Here is a small update on available .NET FastInfoset (X.891) libraries: Noemax FastInfoset.NET – I have been talking to them from very early on. Liquid XML Compression – a relatively new (at least to me) implementation that supports .NET 2.0…
