Slightly off-topic from the original post but... The company I used to work for are implementing liberty alliance as part of a new platform, so I guess there are implementations available, but since they were using IBM (one of the members of liberty) as a consultancy for it I would imagine that they have access to things non-members don't.
I saw a working demo of the technology at an XML conference where a chap from Nokia authenticated using the platform ( on a series 60 handset) to an AOL website. I think Nokia are going to include the technology on their phones, as it's an ideal solution to mobile billing problems. For those that dont know, Liberty Alliance is an XML based system to identify a user across multiple providers without actually knowing who the user is, and allowing the user to specify what information they would like each provider to know.
