and your role, you will be interested in a different angle of the
story. We experienced this fact countless times in the past two
years: with customers and partners, at conferences, with the
press, with colleagues from other groups, and even with
spouses, trying to explain what was that super important thing
that kept us late at the of?¬?ce.
We believe that user-centered identity management has the potential
to change for the better how everybody uses the Internet.
We also believe that the best way of reaping its bene?¬?ts is to
develop a deep understanding of the approach, complemented
by hands-on knowledge of supporting technologies such as
Windows CardSpace. The book you are holding in your hands
has the goal of helping you to gain such insights.
We live in exciting times. The entire industry is moving toward a
common solution, with a true spirit of collaboration and a strong
will to do the right thing. The discussion is open to anybody
who wants to participate. We hope that you will join us!
