Today Microsoft announced that Windows Identity Foundation is released. It puzzles me since the RC of WIF must be the most short lived RC ever, only 11 days or am I missing something?

Anyway, have a look at the announcement:

Unfortunately the download doesn’t seem to be working yet but it’ll probably show up here soon…

One and a half years ago Microsoft bought the U-Prove technology from Credentica for integrating in Geneva and Windows Communication Foundation according to the press release on the Credentica home page but it’s been very quiet about what’s happening.

The last we ever heard was in the end of August when Kim Cameron replied to Felix Gaehtgens at Kuppinger Colein this blog post: Microsoft: minimum disclosure about minimum disclosure?:

…The complexity must be tamed for the technology to succeed. There is more to this than brilliant formulas or crypto routines. We need to understand not only how minimal disclosure technology can be used - but how it can be made usable…
…So we’ve been working hard on figuring this stuff out. In fact, a lot of progress has been made, and I’ll write about that in my next few posts. I’ll also reach out to anyone who wants to become more closely involved.

…Then nothing…

For those of you that haven’t heard about U-Prove should definitely check it out, it’s going to be revolutionizing!
