[W3Qc-public] OpenID

Pour votre info (désolée, en anglais seulement) : What is OpenID? This is a decentralized identity system, but one that's actually decentralized and doesn't entirely crumble if one company turns evil or goes out of business. An OpenID identity is just a URL. You can have multiple identities in the same way you can have multiple URLs. All OpenID does is provide a way to prove that you own a URL (identity). And it does this without passing around your password, your email address, or anything you don't want it to. There's no profile exchange component at all: your profiile is your identity URL, but recipients of your identity can then learn more about you from any public, semantically interesting documents linked thereunder (FOAF, RSS, Atom, vCARD, etc.). Open-Source OpenID Code Bounties Our first initiative is an open-source code bounty program. Soon we will be granting $5,000 USD directly to ten open-source projects that successfully implement OpenID. http://iwantmyopenid.org/
