<p>I have been sooo busy that I did not produce any report on
OpenID developments in Japan since last I have done for mixi back in August. <br>
<br>
There has been bunch of notable events since then. <br>
<br>
2008-9-12 Livedoor Blog adopted "mixi OpenID" group authentication
for their blog service. </p>
</div>
<p> It allows the blog article to be published to a
limited group. The<span style="color:#1F497D">y </span> same is true for
commenting etc. </p>
<div>
<p> Livedoor is one of the major blog provider in Japan
(besides many other things.) They are also acting as OP. <br>
<br>
2008-9-29 NEC released an Authentication Platform Software
"NC7000-3A-OI" that supports OpenID. <br>
It is a federated identity system. It supports both SAML and OpenID. <br>
<br>
2008-10-02 SourceForge.JP started to support OpenID <br>
Unlike <a href="http://sourceforge.net" target="_blank">sourceforge.net</a>,
it also supports XRI/i-names. <br>
<br>
2008-10-06 BIGLOBE started offering OpenID<br>
One of the biggest ISP in Japan, NEC BIGLOBE started the service as an
OP. <br>
It uses EV-SSL, and is https only OP. <br>
<br>
2008-10-06 Rakuten, the biggest online merchant in Japan, started offering
OpenID based payment<br>
Rakuten, the biggest online merchant in Japan, started offering OpenID
based payment. <br>
By using this system, you will not required to give out your credit card
number. <br>
(You are still required to input security code of the credit card,
though.)<br>
<br>
2008-10-15 Internet.com Survay: 28% Japanese Internet User are aware of OpenID.
<br>
Accroding to the survay by <a href="http://internet.com" target="_blank">internet.com</a>
and marsh research which was conducted <br>
over 300 internet user (50% male, 50% female, 20% each of 20s, 30s, 40s,
50s, 60s), <br>
263 of them were using sites that requires authentication. Among them,
28% of them <br>
knew about OpenID, and 15% were using OpenID. <br>
This is a big increase compared to a similar survay back in February
where <br>
only 12% knew about OpenID and only 1.2% of them were using it. <br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>
