Researchers Breach Microsoft's CardSpace ID Technology

Jim Carr writes on SC Magazine US:

Three security researchers in Germany have reportedly broken Microsoft's CardSpace, which was designed to beef up the security of personal information while browsing the internet.

The technique essentially co-opts part of the CardSpace technology, which Microsoft believes can reduce problems such as identity theft plaguing internet users. Microsoft has said it plans to integrate CardSpace with OpenID, an open-source standard also designed to toughen up internet security.
