Summary
Windows CardSpace is a client-side application that enables the
simple management and use of digital identities. CardSpace can
be used by websites to provide secure authentication, as well as
by rich client applications that take advantage of web services.
Information Cards are the cards that are displayed in CardSpace
and represent the user??™s digital identity. An Information Card
contains the information needed to use a digital identity. This is
done by retrieving a security token from an STS. The
Information Card does not contain claim information; it is maintained
at the STS.
The CardSpace UI makes it easy for the average user to perform
several common tasks. This includes creating Personal Cards,
installing Managed Cards, and roaming cards between
computers.
