Unfortunately I haven't seen any concrete work for OpenID V.Next. I agree David's strawman "OpenID Connect" has interesting properties. Unfortunately David's strawman "tantamounts to a virtual admission that we have no better idea's for OpenID".<div>
<br></div><div>The reason i am saying this is because we seem to have got ourselves stuck up on the idea that "Only symmetric keys will work". In spite of the fact that I am more or less in tune with this idea, have we "investigated the fact that asymmetric keys might be the solution to the Identity problem?". I know this will ruffle some feathers around here, but don't you think we need to give it a serious consideration for OpenID.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And on a lighter note - </div><div><br></div><div>David said "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; ">Why the name "OpenID Connect"? I'm a geek which means that good branding (or good design) isn't my thing, but Chris Messina (who is good at branding and design) proposed it a few months ago."</span></div>
