Dick, I would appreciate an expansion of your thoughts (perhaps just a few dot points) on which Internet identity problems or use cases an OAuth-based approach is likely to miss, but OpenID (2.0 or v.Next) is likely to address.
Sometimes I find it hard to remember the bigger picture when swamped with technical details. -- James Manger ---------- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dick Hardt Sent: Tuesday, 25 May 2010 12:23 PM To: Eran Hammer-Lahav Cc: Joseph Smarr; OpenID Board (public); [email protected] Subject: Re: [OpenID board] Why Connect? ... >> OpenID Connect as currently envisioned misses many of the internet identity >> use cases. ...I also think Connect has not holistically looked at what the broader internet identity problems are, and is painting itself into an architecture corner. As a creator of the OAuth hammer, I can see you view this as an OAuth nail. I don't see it that way. ... I see OpenID as a solution for the Internet Identity Problem. agree that many have viewed OpenID as a protocol, and one that was good enough. OpenID v.Next is queuing up to provide a holistic solution. The process for v.Next was started a couple months ago. As you know, these things take time. _______________________________________________ specs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs
