Requirements discussion of OpenID Future

[Anthony Nadalin]

I'm a little confused; I'm not seeing much difference from your list to the charter that was submitted http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-specs-council/2010-May/000272.html so not sure what this list represents, can you give us some background as I did not see these discussions going on while the charter was being discussed.

Maybe a simpler approach is to start fresh on OAuth for authentication http://www.goland.org/adhocauthentication/ and discovery http://www.goland.org/simplewebfinger/

Hi All,

There¹s been a lot of discussion the past few weeks around specific technical proposals focused on moving OpenID forward. We wanted to take a step back and make sure that we understand the problems that there are broad consensus around solving over the next six to nine months. While there has also been some discussion around use cases and charters, there hasn¹t yet been broad consensus.

Today Yahoo!, Google, and Facebook met with some of the authors of Artifact Binding, the OpenID Connect proposal, and OAuth 2.0 to discuss our specific future requirements.  We put together a summary document of 20+ items that we would like to see and wanted to start a discussion around them.  Today helped to verify our instinct that we could achieve these OpenID goals by layering features on top of OAuth 2.0 while specifically maintaining the decentralized nature of OpenID.

After this discussion it seems that the Connect work group charter can encompass this work and thus provides a mailing list and IPR policy to work on these items. Facebook, Google, and Yahoo! expect to be able to sign the contributor agreements for the OpenID Connect working group relatively soon.

We hope that other OpenID community members and organizations will provide feedback on how this list compares to their needs and/or get involved in flushing out the technical details.

Here's the list of features that we would like to see implemented in a future version of OpenID:

Feedback and discussion is more than welcome!

Allen
