Mastercard + Microsoft Questionable Claims In The Development Of Universal Identity Management Solutions

Soup To Nuts Identity Solutions From Two Of The Reasons Why Security Flaws Persist In Financial and Computational Systems?

Bad news: Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Mastercard Inc. (NYSE: MA) have entered the Identity and Access Management space as dual-developers of a so-called 'universal identity scheme'.

I, for one, will utilize my barely visible thumb whorls as proof of identity, rather than use of these clowns-of-code-combinatorial-output. Code Complete at Microsoft or Mastercard? Puhleaze... The former can barely patch it's own desktop and server code successfully month-to-month, and the latter suffers from declining security capabilities since the failed-for-purpose-deployment-and-implementation of the so-called security chips in newly issued credit cards. Both companies suffer from proverbial lack-of-focused-leadership on their core businesses.
