Microsoft's Open Source Software Lab is working on a Firefox plug-in for its CardSpace identity management technology:
"We're actually writing the CardSpace extension, and [The Mozilla Foundation] were very, very excited about it," according to Janssen.
CardSpace, which was formerly called InfoCard, aims to make it easier for users to manage and control the personal information they give to Web sites. Microsoft is promoting it as a way to replace user names and passwords and provide a better defense against phishing and other types of online fraud.
