DiscountASP.NET Adds CardSpace in their Control Panel

d="filecontent">

DiscountASP.NET is a web hosting company that specializes in using ASP.NET in their control panel. Clients of DiscountASP.NET prefer their services among other web hosting companies because of their expertise specifically in ASP.NET.

For years, DiscountASP.NET has concentrated in ASP.NET as a framework and has acquired not only experience but expertise. They are not afraid to adapt to the new changes that are made in ASP.NET and implements them as soon as a new version is available in the market. Years of experience, expertise and quickness of adaptation has led them to be one of the leaders in web hosting in ASP.NET framework. Obviously, the company offers extensive usage of ASP.NET 3.5. This version of ASP.NET has gotten a lot of buzz lately because it has been recently released and for the first time, Ajax could be adapted to this framework. As soon as it’s implemented, DiscountASP.NET made changes to reach their present structure wherein the ASP.NET 3.5 is fully integrated. This has encouraged web developers to make more than just simple websites but to create websites that are highly interactive. Ajax is now implemented in ASP.NET so it’s going to be really easy for developers to create this type of websites. Although ASP.NET framework’s update may have come a little bit compared to other platforms, DiscountASP.NET makes sure it’s implemented immediately to keep up with the changing demand of better looking and more interactive websites. But by the time ASP.NET 3.5 was released, there is a growing concern whether or not ASP.NET 3.5 is secure enough to be trusted. The root of this problem is not in the framework itself but its ability to create Ajax based programs. The Ajax coding is not very popular especially with web security experts. Almost all leaders in Ajax acknowledged this fact. If the hacker is smart enough, he can have access not only to one but thousands of information online. Although it promises to look really good from the customer’s perspective, its security is still not assured. To answer this, DiscountASP.NET deployed a security add-on to the ASP.NET control panel. Microsoft Corporation’s CardSpace has been fully integrated to the control panel of the users. It’s one of the softwares released by Microsoft Corporation as a tool for easy but secured navigation of the website. Web developers could easily manage the files and other accounts since CardSpace is fully integrated in the control panel. Each workstation that handles any account will have a unique ID from CardSpace. That means developers can’t just transfer to another station since this tool should be used securely. With the attacks going back and forth, Cardspace should answer this problem on security. Just as the Company’s VP, Mr. Takeshi Eto describes it, “The Control Panel CardSpace integration serves two main purposes. First, especially with the recent introduction of .NET 3.5 hosting, we wanted to demonstrate the use of new .NET 3.x technology. Second, we wanted to give our customers the opportunity to provide feedback on CardSpace during this early stage as Microsoft works toward delivering on their vision for an Identity Metasystem.”
