Keys to the Kingdom

Drummond Reed was so generous to respond to my recent post about how to recognize an Identity Implementation Fail. The following paragraph in Drummond’s post set me to thinking: Even Microsoft with their design for Information Cards (which are the closest we’ve ever come to full asymmetric key-based security infrastructure) never fully solved that problem. [...]
How to Spot an Unnecessary Identity Fail
June 9th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Daily Thesis, Identity, lexicon
I’ve been watching the recent announcements about how hackers—some speculate foreign countries—have cracked the security infrastructure of a system and have stolen the names and passwords of thousands—sometimes millions—of customers.

Selector-based Identity is Inevitable

Johannes Ernst recently posted blog entry titled Why We Don’t Need an “Identity Selector”. Both the title and the content require a response. Johannes, you ignorant slut. Your post leads the reader to believe two things that make your position dead wrong. First is that you completely mislead the reader to believe that the selector [...]
Open Letter to Steve Ballmer
October 1st, 2009 · 4 Comments · Daily Thesis
Dear Steve, I recently visited Redmond to meet with the Federated Identity group. We had a long chat about Context-aware applications and the trends toward context automation. Of course, those of us thinking along these lines would love to get ahead of the hacking curve and put some identity infrastructure around the contextual internet. [...]
