[OpenID] general Digest, Vol 15, Issue 15

[Sakimura Nat]

I am planning on presenting some ideas on the extension of OpenID at iiw2007b today so that "business" would be more comfortable in using it on the transactions that has financial consequences.

Though I cannot disclosed the name, it has stemmed out of the real world project that we are implementing now in Japan.

I'd like to remind people that the original thread isn't necessarily
talking about high value transactions, but merely *any* financial
transaction. Ie, a $4.95/mth subscription, or buying a $50 book.
Though I do realize the example of USAA is a higher value
transaction, I'm more interested in using OpenID with smaller value
transactions that are still of a financial nature.

Perhaps there could be a topic at IIW about using OpenID with online
sites that result in financial transactions? (ie, subscription
services, small payments, etc.)

Cheers,
Ben
