OpenID system - A logically decentralised solution email this discussion to a friend?

sifar786 (19)3 years ago

I came across this article on OpenID recently & was intrigued by the fact that its a totally free system which is being used by a couple of organisations like

http://iwantmyopenid.org

http://www.openidenabled.com/

If you ask me what is OpenID, in technical terms, i would say, "It is an open, FREE, decentralised framework for User-centric digital Identity". Gone Bouncers na...

Well, Simply put, its a way to uniquely identify yourself on the internet without the need to login multiple times.

Its provides for a secure authentication architecture & controls are in the hands of the user.

Take an example...like every website is identified by its unique URL(website address), so will a user be identified by his own unique username. His Password & other credentials would be stored on an OpenID Authentication System. So, Whenever a User wants to login to any website, his request first goes to the OpenID server which then supplies the correct details & directs his request to the particular website. So user does not have to wait or login multiple times. EVERYTHING is done by the OpenID framework.

Hope
this helps!

Cheers!

Big Brother has finally made a solid apperance on the internet it sounds like.
Give this three years and it will be mandatory; so they can track everything we do and read more easily, and we'll be all excited about it because we have an OpenID!
I am getting so paranoid in my old age. sheesh.

"so they can track everything we do and read more easily,..."

Well my friend, on the contrary, a user would be in complete control of what information he needs to show & what not to show....so advertising companys tracking you or spamming you would b out of the question & limited....

Oh! I forgot!
How many end users would really have the first clue about how to "run their own provider", hehe
I'm actually starting to like this OpenID idea, the more I look into it, just so I can "keep up" with what the heck is going on. I never get the memo on the important stuff ya know.
Keep smiling and loving,

We all have & form our own opinions friend. I appreciate your response, however fail to understand your aversion to Open Source computing...

Anyways, the internet itself is not governed by any body or organisation..it is itself a network of WANS & reflects the spirit of Open Source somehow....

There was a similar startup project called Freenet, which i believe is doing very well now..

Cheers!
