For [posterity](http://news.com.com/Symantec+touts+Security+2.0/2100-1029%5F3-6124375.html?ref=chrismessina.me) (**emphasis** added):

> Users, and not Symantec, will control their identity information, Salem said, addressing the main criticism that led to the demise of a similar effort from Microsoft called Passport. Also, **Symantec will not create new technology standards, but plans to use Microsoft's CardSpace and the open-source OpenID technology, Salem said**.
