[OpenID] [LIKELY_SPAM]Re: Real Identity Verification

[Peter Williams]

In 1992, apple folks may recall using their mac to print out a form, which they take to their local notary. The notary would acknowledge the affidavit (all very formal language, I know) which would attest to the users act of identification before the public official. The affidavit attested to the truth that the public key was controlled by the user. Notarial records were therefore made/kept, and the recording books became/become the property of the state once the notary can no longer show control generally or provide a certified copy of a recorded entry on demand, in court processes.

That said, one sent an original copy of the notarized affidavit to rsa, and one would be sent back an x509 cert, purportedly suitable for signing documents. Folks may even recall the docusign app.

If an openid op does the same as above, before minting (realtime) assertions, all the properties would hold.

"Real world openid."

HI Rebecca,

My company, BeenVerified, does provide real world identity solutions.  We do not use OpenID to allow our users to make those identity assertions but we do allow other services to pull verified identity information via the OAuth protocol.  In the future we also plan on using Info Cards as well.  Feel free to ping me if you'd like to discuss how we can help you.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi all

I'm researching a new online service that I will be building. I want to use
Open ID, however we're going to require real-world identification
verification, as the service will have legally binding information in it.

Just wondering whether open id is being used with real-world identification
verification, and what the list's thoughts are on this.

Thanks,

Rebecca
