Gordon∗ Nikhil Swamy† ∗Microsoft Research †University of Maryland, College Park ABSTRACT We describe reference implementations for selected configurations of the user authentication protocol defined by the Information Card Profile V1.0. Our code can interoperate with existing implemen- tations of the roles of the protocol (client, identity provider, and relying party). We derive formal proofs of security properties for our code using an automated theorem prover. Hence, we obtain the most substantial examples of verified implementations of crypto- graphic protocols to date, and the first for any federated identity- management protocols.

  • Cardspace Web Integration
    A Guide to Supporting Information Cards within Web Applications and Browsers as of the Information Card Profile V1.0 December 2006 Author Michael B. Jones Microsoft Corporation Copyright Notice © 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Abstract The Identity Metasystem allows users to manage their digital identities from various identity providers and employ them in different contexts where they are accepted to access online services. In the Identity Metasystem, identities are represented to users as “Information Cards” (a.k.a. “InfoCards”). One important class of applications where Information Card- based authentication can be used is applications hosted on web sites and accessed through web browsers. This paper documents the web interfaces utilized by browsers and web applications that support the Identity Metasystem. The information in this document is not specific to any one browser or platform. This document supplements the information provided in two other Information Card Profile references: the Guide to the Information Card Profile V1.0 [InfoCard-Guide], which provides a non-normative description of the overall Information Card model, and the Technical Reference for the Information Card Profile V1.0 [InfoCard-Ref], which provides the normative schema definitions and behaviors referenced by the Guide to the Information Card Profile V1.0. Status The Information Card Profile V1.0 was used to implement Windows CardSpace V1.0, which is part of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 [.NET3.0], and Internet Explorer 7. Other implementations following these specifications should be able to interoperate with the Microsoft implementation. Version 1.0 Page 1 of 13 Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2.

  • A One-Page Introduction to Windows Cardspace Michael B
    A One-Page Introduction to Windows CardSpace Michael B. Jones, Microsoft Corporation, January 2007 © 2007 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Many of the problems facing the Internet today stem from the lack of a widely deployed, easily understood, secure identity solution. Microsoft’s Windows CardSpace software and the “Identity Metasystem” protocols underlying it are aimed at filling this gap using technology all can adopt and solutions all can endorse, putting people in control of their identity interactions on the Internet. One problem people face is knowing whether they’re at a legitimate web site or a malicious site. This is an identity problem: a problem with reliably identifying authentic sites to their users. People also face numerous problems in identifying themselves to the sites they use. Username/password authentication is the prevailing paradigm, but its weaknesses are all too evident on today’s Internet. Password reuse, insecure passwords, forgotten passwords, and poor password management practices open a world of attacks by themselves. Combine that with the password theft attacks enabled by counterfeit web sites and man-in-the-middle attacks and today’s Internet is an attacker’s paradise. CardSpace is part of the solution to all of these problems. The Windows CardSpace software enables people to maintain a set of personal digital identities that are shown to them as visual “Information Cards”. These cards are easier to use than passwords. Furthermore, they employ strong cryptography, making them significantly more secure than passwords and other information typed into web forms. There are three participants in any digital identity interaction using CardSpace: Identity Providers issue digital identities for you.

    IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE) e-ISSN: 2278-0661, p- ISSN: 2278-8727Volume 16, Issue 3, Ver. VII (May-Jun. 2014), PP 61-66 www.iosrjournals.org An Efficient Windows Cardspace identity Management Technique in Cloud Computing Smita Saini1, Deep Mann2 1(Dept. of Computer Science Engineering, Lovely Professional University, India) 2(Dept. of Computer Science Engineering, Lovely Professional University, India) Abstract: Cloud computing provides the shared infrastructure to the user this lead to the privacy and security violation. Privacy is regarding to the user’s sensitive information that resides onto the cloud, unauthorized secondary usage of the data. Windows Cardspace is a digital identity management system that deals with the privacy. It is managed the digital identities inform of Security Token. This paper described the shortcoming of the windows Cardspace that direct to a privacy violation. First issue is reliance on the single layer authentication, second is relying on service provider judgment and third is token storage on cloud. This proposed work will overcome the limitation of the windows cardspace identity management solution. Keyword: windows Cardspace I. Introduction Web applications are moving toward the share infrastructure it raises the privacy and security issues for user data. Cloud computing provides the large storage capacity and platform to the user (There user can deploy services without installation). Users are stored his/her sensitive data onto cloud server but users are not aware how the data are used by administrator (lack of user control) this lead to the privacy violation. For accessing the services users sends a request to the service provider and service providers ask for the claims, these claims can be inform of name, email-id, date of birth, sensitive information(credit card information) and this lead to the phishing attack, identity theft and pharming attack.

Windows CardSpace1 provides a type of information card in the form of a software token, that is used as a method of digital identity. Windows CardSpace information card is a client application that comes pre‐installed with the Windows .NET 3.x Framework. The information card runs on the desktop as an identity selector for CardSpace Cards created or issued Windows CardSpace information card is based on an identity meta‐system, architecture consisting of: 1. Identity Providers (companies who issue cards to their customers, employees, etc. 2. Users (individuals who have a card issued that they can they use as their identity to log onto websites, etc. 3. Relying parties (applications, services and similar that use an identity to authenticate a person to then authorise an action such as logging onto a website, accessing a documents, etc.) A Card is either issued by the Identity provider to a user, or a user can self‐issue a card. Each card holds a number of ‘Claims’ associated with that user which are subsequently used to identify them when the card is used. These claims include identifiers such as name, email address, etc. When a user needs to use a card with a supporting application (relying party) to access a resource (such as a secure2trust protected document or a website that supports logon through information cards) the CardSpace desktop interface opens and the user can choose a card to identify themselves.
