RE: [higgins-dev] OpenID Identity in the browser project launched
|
In anticipation of doing implementation work in Higgins
and to facilitate other Higgins efforts that involve OpenID, we need to
restart the process of getting approval to use OpenID in
Higgins.
Previously we began the
process to get approval of Dick Hardt's java version of OpenID, and got Dick's
approval. What OpenID
implementation(s) are people currently working with and what implementation do
they recommend we get approved?
What I'm saying is that the specification for a browser identity selector
framework be done in an SDO, seems that OIDF has the IPR to do this, and I'm
sure that folks from Higgins could contribute to that effort. I assume that once
the specification is done then there would be an open source implementation and
Higgins may be the place where the framework is done and maybe the providers
also

In my discussions with these folks over the
past weeks, I have suggested that the IPR be done in OpenID (the
specification for a identity selector framework) and the open source go to a
relevant open source body for the OpenID selector, but I would say that the
identity selector framework for that could be here in
Higgins.

This has relevance to Higgins. I don’t
think the user wants to install one set of browser extensions to get i-card
support and another to get OpenID support. Users want a solution that works
regardless of underlying protocol, etc. So I think we have to figure out how
these pieces fit together. See how we relate to this project. Figure out the
IPR, etc.
Thoughts?

The Identity in
the Browser (IDIB for short) project has launched over
on Google Code
today:
http://idib.googlecode.com <http://idib.googlecode.com/>
The goal of this project is to produce an
open source extension to
Firefox that helps with usability problems and
addresses several
security vulnerabilities around OpenID. Ideally this is
the start of
making sense of what identity in the browser would look
like. In the
future, this could be the basis for integrated support in
all modern
browsers if the project goes well.
A couple of key
points:
* This is still very rough and not meant for general users
yet
* The work may lead to extensions to the OpenID protocol that may
take
shape in the form of specifications - more information can be found
on
the project page wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/idib/w/list <http://code.google.com/p/idib/w/list>
* The discussion about IDIB is happening on
the mailing list here:
http://groups.google.com/group/idib <http://groups.google.com/group/idib>
Hope to see you there!
