	Intro to Windows Identity Foundation (WIF - aka "Geneva")
	Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 7:00 PM
	This presentation will introduce Microsoft© Windows Identity Foundation (code-named "Geneva") concepts and terminology to help developers understand the benefits and concepts behind the claims-based model of identity. The target audience does not consist of security experts, rather those who are familiar with ASP.NET or Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) programming, and who are building Web applications or services that care about authentication and authorization. As such, the focus will be on building relying party applications using Windows Identity Foundation. I will talk about issuance and security token services (STS) and will provide an example of an STS built using WIF. Buchanan Dunn is a Senior .NET Web Developer for Input, inc. in Reston, VA. Previously he worked at DubMeNow and Corporate Executive Board. Buchanan has built web applications using ASP.NET Webforms and MVC and has incorporated integrations with Salesforce, Linkedin and other sources both internal and external to the enterprise to provide authentication or services to users.
