  Newsmaker: Ending Microsoft's identity crisis
Time: 04:50 EST/09:50 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

If Microsoft needs a lesson on how to do identity management wrong, it needs only look at its past.

With Passport, Microsoft had exactly the wrong approach as the software maker needlessly stepped between businesses and their customers--so says Kim Cameron, the identity expert who leads Microsoft's current effort, known as InfoCard.

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates on Tuesday touted InfoCards as one of the technologies that could finally help cement the death of the username and password as the means of verifying identity on the Internet.

But before InfoCard can supplant anything, Microsoft will have to line up Web sites to use it, banks and credit card companies to support it and then get consumers to buy in, too. Cameron sat down with CNET News.com this week to talk about InfoCard, how it works and what Microsoft needs to do to make sure it doesn't whiff again.
