"Understanding Windows CardSpace: An Introduction to the Concepts and Challenges of Digital Identities"


 Windows Server 2003. This also requires that the .NET
Framework version 3.0 or 3.5 and Internet Explorer 7 be
installed.
.NET Framework 3.0 (or 3.5) is always required to run
Windows CardSpace because it contains the core CardSpace
system components. They also install components that
CardSpace requires: the Windows Communication Foundation
and the 2.0 Common Language Runtime.
Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) is necessary because it has support for
the Information Card tag. As previously shown, the
tag is required to allow web developers to request a token from
CardSpace.
Technically speaking, IE7 is not a requirement to use CardSpace.
It is only used when the RP is a website. In addition, CardSpace
is designed to be used by non-Microsoft developed browser
plug-ins, too. This can include controls that run in other
browsers, such as Firefox.
CardSpace installs
with .NET
Framework 3.0 and
later
CardSpace can
work with different

plays a key role in the Metasystem as an Identity Selector.
