CardSpace vs. Digital Certificate


Recommended Posts

I've been reading about Windows CardSpace, which I discovered in the Control

Panel of my Windows XP Home SP 3. It seems to me that there's nothing unique

about CardSpace (aka InfoCard) that doesn't already exist.

 

A 'managed' InfoCard issued by a third party identity provider seems quite

similar to a digital certificate. A self-issued 'personal' InfoCard can be

compared to software that fills in forms for you.

 

I just don't 'get' the innovation behind CardSpace. Is there something

unique about it, or is it just competition for digital certificates and

RoboForms? Nothing wrong with competition, of course, I'm just wondering if

there's a compelling reason for me to get my own InfoCard.

 

Thanks for your help.
