At the Burton Group Identity Blog, Mark Diodati has a write-up of Microsoft’s acquisition of Credentica.
Microsoft’s Kim Cameron and Stefan Brands of Credentica are two people I know to be doing important work in the identity area. I featured Stefan in the final chapter of my book, Identity Crisis. I believe both are working to make identity and credentialing systems that support secure transacting without promoting surveillance – no easy task.
Perhaps this summer, I will have time to translate the technical details of their work into libertarian English and report more about it.
The Technology Liberation Front is the tech policy blog dedicated to keeping politicians' hands off the 'net and everything else related to technology.
