I get really freaked out when People start talking XFN and identities of any kind.<br><br>Personally I never want my OpenID identifier in ANYONE's XFN file. This sort of social graph portability is highly privacy invasive and goes against the "laws" that people should have both control and consent for where PII goes.
<br><br>I would like to see some deeper thought go into how OpenID plays well with emerging projects like Higgins and the Liberty People service that are looking hard at contextual identity management and how to port social graphs while respecting privacy.
<br><br>I get that many folks here are not concerned about where they end up in other peoples social graphs and how they are ported around the web without their knowledge. I am. Many people do. Many people do who will be users of OpenID.

Hello,<br><br>I wonder if anyone has thought about building an OpenID solution<br>(provider/consumer) based on P2P and XFN ? I wrote a small<br>presentation you can see here, if you want to see what I mean (very<br>high level, not too technical):
<br><br><a href="http://www.egomedium.net/fr/wp-content/p2popenid.pdf">http://www.egomedium.net/fr/wp-content/p2popenid.pdf</a><br><br>This would allow to decentralize the identity repository, and store<br>fragments of identities on your friends network. If people are
<br>interested, maybe we could start a page on the Wiki, and if it makes<br>sense, where ?<br><br>Sebastien<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>general mailing list<br><a href="mailto:general@openid.net">
