[OpenID] FB Connect, OpenID and UX - general Security Services

[Steven Livingstone-Perez]

Ahhhh, well to me IDIB for the various browsers looks like *the* highest
priority of anything related to OpenID.

 

Whatever sign-on solution can integrate into the browser first will gain a
lot of traction here. Would be cool if along with the grassroots efforts,
the big tech companies just made a statement about getting this working.

 

I wonder whether anything can be learned from the success of OpenSearch
approach which is now allows pluggable search support in a growing number of
browsers.

 

Trying it out .

This is essentially where the IDIB project came from:

What also surprises me slightly, is that although I have had McAfee on my
computers for some time now and with that it performs a URL check on my
Google results (I know some other systems do too).

 

. that providing a simple "Manage my Identity" and putting this directly in
the browser (after all, they already do this for another kind of service) -
would be relatively simple for them.

 

I mean building AS PART of the browsers would be the logical way to do all
this, but as an alternative, an approach such as that provided by these
existing security companies could also work well. I mean the key issue is
knowing that the "service" doing all of the core identity work is trusted -
whether that be the browser itself or an external trusted application.
