<p class=MsoNormal>The <a
href="http://www.idmanagement.gov/drilldown.cfm?action=openID_openGOV"
target="_blank">government has just announced</a> that they are piloting
accepting OpenID on several of their web sites, and the major OpenID Providers
(Google, Yahoo, AOL, PayPal, Verisign) will be <a
href="http://openid.net/u-s-government-openid-pilot-program-participants/"
target="_blank">supporting Providers</a> of this new Government profile for
OpenID.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>What is this "<a
href="http://www.idmanagement.gov/documents/ICAM_OpenID20Profile.pdf"
target="_blank">government profile</a>"? Basically it's a set of
rules that an OP and RP must follow. These rules are more restrictive
than, but nonetheless compliant with, the OpenID 2.0 spec. For example,
HTTPS must be used throughout the process, and shared associations must only
last up to a given maximum length of time.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I'm very pleased to announce that <b><a
href="http://dotnetopenauth.net/">DotNetOpenAuth</a> has support for this
government profile</b>, and in fact is the underlying library used by the NIH
for its OpenID RP support. Watch for a new release of DNOA (3.2.1) in the
next day or two that actually includes the government profile in it.<o:p></o:p></p>
