Ping Identity eNews

Dear Colleague,

Since our inception, Ping Identity has focused exclusively on helping enterprises deal with cross-domain security and single sign-on. Over the years, this has resulted in our participation in open industry protocols (such as Liberty Alliance, SAML and most recently, WS-Federation) and our bringing to market what has now become the best-selling and most-deployed federation server, PingFederate.

While we've participated in demonstrations of new user-centric technologies such as Microsoft Windows CardSpace and OpenID, we've not offered solutions in these areas. Until now.

Today, users are required to login into each and every Web site independently, using a separate username and password for each. Few repetitive interactions on the Internet are as frustrating or as redundant. The reason for the current state of affairs is that until recently, there existed no notion of a single, standardized identity mechanism capable of spanning across the Internet.

SignOn.com is a new service created by Ping Identity to help change this. As an independent identity service, SignOn.com leverages emerging identity technologies such as OpenID and Information Cards (Windows CardSpace™) to help streamline and secure the login and registration process to commonly-used Web sites. Our vision is to empower the individual with tools and services designed to protect and serve only one person, you.

Think of SignOn.com as a personal identity management service. By creating a single, free account, you get a personalized OpenID identifier for use at any OpenID-enabled Web site. Use this account with embedded Information Cards technology for strong authentication at any OpenID-enabled Web site, which numbers in the hundreds today and growing.

Rest assured that your SignOn.com account is secure, as Ping Identity takes every precaution to safeguard your identity information and provide you with new innovative features to both protect your identity as well as your privacy.
