We all know that userid’s and passwords are not good enough anymore.
That’s why more and more companies move to two-factor authentication, using those little contact-less “calculators” that generate one-time password, or contact-ful solutions like smartcards, USB-tokens, etc or other concepts such as OpenID or Microsoft’s CardSpace (i still prefer the old name “InfoCard”).

Only one topic on everybody’s mind – Innotribe@Sibos – and the atmosphere is the same as just before a big race at an athletic event: I guess the best description is [...]
SOA for Human Brains ?
Posted in Cloud, Robots, Semantic Web, Singularity, Think Tank, global brain on August 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
SOA stands for Service Oriented Architecture. Services can be assembled together to form news (composed) services. Most of the time this terminology is used in the back-end.
