Open Source CardSpace C Library
Ping today announced the release a new open source CardSpace Relying Party C
Library. This component will help Web developers create
applications that can accept Information Cards for single sign-on.
We partnered with Microsoft to produce these C libraries, and they are designed for generic use with any Web site or service. They are licensed under the BSD license and can be downloaded at http://www.codeplex.com/InformationCard. To download a reference sample application, which demonstrates how the C Library
can be easily embedded in a PHP application, feel free to visit www.SourceID.org.
