Cardspace in the (Ottawa) news

My local paper (the one slightly less raggy than the other), had an article yesterday on Cardspace. Various tidbits extracted here:

• the e-card - the leader in what could be a series of similar efforts by other companies - is part of a feature called Cardspace.
• if the user wants to buy a product from a website, the website simply sends payment information to Cardspace. The Cardpace program forwards that to the bank.
• All personal data are kept on the home computer - it's never catalogued in a company server
• Microsoft said it's planning on making the e-cards portable so that people can use them from any computer on which they may be working
• Ontario's privacy commissioner, Anne Cavoukian, said the situation has led to "password fatigue"
• Ms Cavoukian spoke about the upcoming release of the new technology at the International Association of Privacy Professionals conference in Toronto this week
• Other companies are creating similar programs

Now that's what I call journalism.
