Description: Planetary is an Internet security company that is developing an open source reference implementation of Microsoft's "Identity Metasystem" for Unix and Unix-like platforms that complements the Metasystem running on Windows Vista. The Metasystem is designed to prevent phishing and spoofing of web sites and provides an Internet-standard layer of identity and security for web sites and financial institutions, all placing control of identity in the hands of users. Planetary plans to develop proprietary products based on its open source reference implementation for small- to medium sized business, the enterprise, government, and mobile device manufacturers who wish to make their products compatible with the Metasystem without replacing their existing Unix/Linux infrastructure.
