Re: [higgins-dev] OpenID Identity in the browser project launched

[Anthony Nadalin <drsecure@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So the IDIB is not currently looking at other types of selectors, this is a problem, and I don't think that we should implement anything until we have a framework where we can have a single plug-in point for different selectors. So we are willing to work with the IDIB folks but there is no IPR in place, I have suggested that IPR move to OIDF, once there the IPR is clear and then this can move to an OSS.

No response. Hmm.... What if I said:

As part of Higgins 1.1 the three Higgins browser extensions (for FF, IE and Safari) should all implement the same OpenID RP functionality as the IDIB project plans to provide. If, for IPR reasons, the code from the IDIB project isn’t clean then we’ll reimplement it inside our three HBXs. These HBXs should all call a Higgins Selector Selector API on all platforms (not just on Windows as we have today), and that the SS API should be extended  to support the IDIB-like functionality in these browser extensions if this proves necessary.

Thoughts? AndyH? Jeesmon?

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

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

* The discussion about IDIB is happening on the mailing list here:

http://groups.google.com/group/idib

Hope to see you there!
