CardSpace is also a very ?¬‚exible technology that can be successfully
leveraged to address a wide range of different scenarios
and business needs. Finally, Windows CardSpace enables new
scenarios and radically new ways of dealing with known problems.
Given the sheer breadth of the areas it touches, it comes
as no surprise that people of all positions and backgrounds are
interested in knowing more about it.
To address so many different aspects and such a diverse audience,
we divided the book into three parts.
xx Preface
Part I: Setting the Context
The ?¬?rst part of this book introduces you to user-centered identity
management, the model on which Windows CardSpace is
based. This part lays the foundation for understanding the context
in which CardSpace is meant to operate and the problems it
has been designed to overcome. Architects, analysts, and even
strictly nontechnical folks will get the most from this part. There
are practically no assumptions of prior knowledge; the text introduces
the necessary concepts and technologies as needed.
Note that in the ?¬?rst part CardSpace is barely mentioned because
the focus is on the underlying models and considerations
that are purely platform-agnostic.
