Microsoft PDC2008 - Identity

Claims-Based Identity: A Security Model for Connected Applications
Presenter(s): Kim Cameron, Stuart Kwan
Claims-based security is the underpinning of many applications, services, and servers. This model enables security features like: multiple authentication types, stronger authentication on-the-fly, and delegation of user identity between applications. Learn how to use this model in .NET, how it integrates with Active Directory, how it works across platforms, how it works with existing applications, and how we use it at Microsoft.

Live Platform: Identity Services
Presenter: Jorgen Thelin
The Live Platform enables developers on any platform to choose the identity integration model that best enables their scenarios, including: web or client authentication, delegated authentication, or federated authentication. Learn how to build seamless, cobranded, and customized sign-up and sign-in experiences.

Connecting Active Directory to Microsoft Cloud Services
Presenter(s): Lynn Ayres, Tore Sundelin
Learn how to augment your existing IT infrastructure with Microsoft Services. Manage and secure end user access to cloud services using your existing investment in Active Directory. Enable end users to access cloud services through existing Active Directory accounts, the same way they access your intranet-hosted software today. Hear how to enable existing software to use new service capabilities without re-writes, and do it all through the use of open and standard protocols.

"Zermatt": Enabling Next Generation IdentityThe security demands of applications continue to evolve in the face of compliance requirements, new online threats, and SOA and cloud re-engineering. See how to use the "Zermatt" next-generation authentication framework and services and the claims-based identity model to enable single sign on, strong authentication, federation, and the ability to flow user authentication between applications. Find out how to use "Zermatt" with ASP.NET, WCF, Active Directory, and Windows CardSpace.

"Zermatt": Deep DiveIn this session we examine the architecture of "Zermatt" next generation identity technology, and how it can be customized and extended for advanced security scenarios. At the center of the discussion is the Security Token Service (STS), a core component providing authentication and identity services. Many applications will benefit from an embedded STS, and many scenarios will call for an STS that is built on a specialized user store.

Services Symposium: Enterprise Grade Cloud Applications
Speaker information pending.
Today, hosted applications do not offer many of the features that large enterprises expect related to identity, management, and data. See detailed examples of "enterprise grade" hosted application design. Learn how to implement a federated identity scenario, enable remote application management, and provide richer control of data storage.

I guess that MS marketing decided that half of the sessions have to be tagged "cloud services". What I am missing: When will we have CardSpace for Windows Mobile?! Wouldn't it be nice to use all that fabulous cloud services from a Windows Mobile device?
And: No connection between SharePoint and CardSpace/Identity/Zermatt?
