able to understand the steps in the process without a deep understanding
of the underlying technology. Users will become
accustomed to the routine involved while providing digital identity
and will know what to expect each time they are involved in
an interaction using their digital identity. Having a consistent
experience allows the user to anticipate what the experience
will be like across applications. Then, if something outside the
expected routine occurs, this can help alert the user that something
is amiss. A consistent user experience increases security by
making the user a more knowledgeable participant in securityrelated
transactions.
Why Cards?
A common misperception about Windows CardSpace and
Information Cards is that they are a technology that uses a physical
card that can be carried around in your pocket. This isn??™t the
case, of course; Information Cards are not real cards. They are
simply virtual representations of digital identity. However, those
thoughts of real cards that get conjured up are intentional because
the model was meant to give the user the impression that
these are easy to understand objects that can be used in predictable
and intuitive ways.
