Microsoft U-Prove technology helps with both security and privacy
At the RSA conference this week, Microsoft announced the availability of the U-Prove Community Technology Preview (CTP) . The U-Prove CTP integrates with the Microsoft identity platform technologies (Windows Identity Foundation, Windows CardSpace 2.0, and Active Directory Federation Services 2.0) and enables the issuance and presentation of cryptographically protected claims in a manner that provides multi-party security. At the same time, the U-Prove technology enables any desired degree of privacy (including authenticated anonymity and pseudonymity) without contravening multi-party security. Identity solutions enabled with U-Prove technology that provides more secure and private access to on-premise and cloud based applications through the minimal disclosure of information are critical for establishing trust in information and communication technology (ICT) systems for the health industry to encourage adoption and use of these systems by care professionals, patients, and other users of these health ICT systems.
