Description

Windows CardSpace technology is part of the Microsoft initiative for providing secure authentication for the Internet Age. Through the UI paradigm of Information Cards, the user is presented with a simple, consistent way to manage and securely present their identity to various distributed, heterogeneous systems. This is meant to be done as easily as the user presents different forms of authentication from the identification cards on their physical person, and forms an important part of the Identity Metasystem

Within CardSpace there are three software components:

The Identity Selector, which presents and allows choosing from acceptable forms of authentication
The Identity Provider, which provides cards to users for them to use in authenticating to various systems
The Relying Party, which requests from a selector that specific information to be securely supplied from an identity provider.

CardSpace is used both as a system to authenticate web application requests, and to secure web services interactions through smart clients.

Reference PHP Sample Application

Ping Identity has created a PHP extension to allow the InformationCard-C library to be used from PHP, along with a module for Drupal integration.. Both of these are available for download at SourceId.org.

Open Standards

The Information Card model is built on open, interoperable communication standards that have been implemented on Windows and other platforms.

More information on interoperability, please take a look at the Identity Selector Interoperability Profile.

Workaround, give self-issued identities five minutes of drift beyond what NotBefore would allow to account for clients that do not properly give enough time.
