March 31, 2010: Message from Stefan Brands
Two years since Microsoft acquired the U-Prove technology and following the recent release at the RSA Conference 2010, I am resigning from Microsoft. Today was my last day at the company. Microsoft retains the U-Prove technology assets including the intellectual property. I remain committed to the same identity, security, and privacy goals that motivated me to create and pursue the U-Prove technology, and will continue to be active in this space.
