Conventional wisdom suggests that if you want to increase security, you need to sacrifice some privacy: if you took a flight in the last decade you know exactly<\/I> what I mean. We are so used to that tradeoff that you consider it one of the many Heisenberg principles governing computer science.<\/P>
\n

But what if this status quo could be broken? What if you could have security AND privacy? <\/P>

Enter the U-Prove technology<\/B>, a groundbreaking innovation that allows you to do just that. Introduced by cryptographer Dr. Stefan Brands<\/B> in 2004, it took the industry by storm (1<\/A>,  2<\/A>). In 2008 Microsoft acquired the technology<\/A> and hired Stefan & his crew (Christian Paquin<\/B>, Greg Thompson<\/B>) in the identity and access division. They have been busy ever since to integrate U-Prove in the Identity Metasystem: today we can finally let the world give a first glance to their work.<\/P>

Today, March 2, 2010, at the RSA Security Conference, Microsoft is taking a first step to make the U-Prove technology available to the public and interested parties: <\/P>
