SourceID InfoCard STS Toolkit for Java
Version 0.1 - Work in Progress
August 11, 2005
=======================================
OVERVIEW
=======================================
The SourceID InfoCard STS Toolkit for Java (available now for
immediate download from www.sourceid.org) is a library and simple
framework for writing server-side applications which interact with
Microsoft's new InfoCard identity system (InfoCard is itself also
still a work-in-progress as of this writing).
Microsoft InfoCard is an identity system scheduled for inclusion in
Windows Vista (a.k.a. Longhorn), with a possible release for Windows
XP to follow.
It allows users to create identity information cards ("InfoCards")--
and/or collect signed cards from third-party Identity Providers--and
use them
to provision accounts and/or instantly sign in to web applications
(via browser) and web services (via SOAP clients).
The toolkit can be downloaded from:
http://www.sourceid.org/projects/infocards.html
The best sources for InfoCard information are two web logs maintained
by members of the Microsoft InfoCard team:
