Hello list!
Please have a look at the latest (draft 4) OpenID Attribute Exchange
1.0 specification:
http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0-04.html
Summary:
OpenID Attribute Exchange is an OpenID service extension for
exchanging identity information between endpoints. Messages for
retrieval and storage of identity information are provided.
The main change since draft 3 is the specification for exchanging
attributes with multiple values, by having a "count" parameter and
incremental parameter names for each value.
Other minor changes to clarify some aspects include:
- Added note about the state of flux of the attribute types and
metadata specifications
- Added definition for 'attribute'
- Explicitly referenced OpenID's extension mechanism as the transport
for attribute exchanges
- Renamed openid.ax.fetch.<alias> to openid.ax.type.<alias>
- Added reference to OpenID Authentication's security considerations
We look forward to any feedback and comments from the community
towards improving the attribute exchange!
Thanks,
Johnny
