The claims based identity model provides a model which associates security identities with claims. The model represents information contained in the claims, as well as, captures relationships between the security identities described in the claims. Finally, the data model can be easily translated to the existing .NET environment without breaking the backward compatibility for existing .NET applications.

Representing security identities using claims

A system and methods for service discovery and publication are disclosed. Application programs write requests for service discovery, publication, and subscription to a service discovery application programming interface. The service discovery application programming interface invokes one or more lower-level protocols to satisfy the discovery, publication and/or subscription request. Service information retrieved from lower-layer protocols is formatted into a consistent data model and returned to the client application. In addition, service information may be stored in a persistent data store managed by a discovery persistence service communicatively connected to the service discovery API.

Service discovery and publication

Exemplary embodiments disclosed herein may include a method and system for providing information to a user and safely disclosing identity information over the Internet comprising receiving information from a server, analyzing the information, presenting the analyzed information to a user for validation in a finite number of configurations controlled by a client, and validating of the information by the user.
