IBM, Google, Microsoft, Verisign, and Yahoo have joined the corporate board of the&#160;OpenID Foundation, giving a boost to the group&#39;s efforts to simplify the process of signing into Web sites.The OpenID framework allows people to use a single user name and password to sign into sites that support it.More than 10,000 Web sites now support OpenID log-ins, according to the foundation. Last month,&#160;Yahoo announced&#160;its 248 million active registered users could begin using their handle and password to login to non-Yahoo Web sites that&#160;support the OpenID 2.0 framework.The closer links between OpenID and these major vendors is sure to help the foundation&#39;s effort, according to its executive director, Bill Washburn. &quot;The community has clearly expanded since the inception of the Foundation and these companies will help bring OpenID into the mainstream markets,&quot; he said in a statement.Another statement on the foundation&#39;s Web site went into further detail on what the new alliances could mean.&quot;In 2008, we can expect to see a larger focus on making OpenID even more accessible to a mainstream audience, the development of a World-wide trademark usage policy (much like the Jabber Foundation and Mozilla have done), and a larger international focus on working with the OpenID communities in Asia and Europe,&quot; it read.&quot;We think this is one of the largest efforts put into identity management as far as the Internet is concerned,&quot; said Anthony Nadalin, an IBM distinguished engineer and chief security architect for Tivoli software, in an interview Thursday.Nadalin couldn&#39;t pinpoint when the vendors&#39; new level of involvement with OpenID will produce tangible results. &quot;This takes a little bit of time, understanding and agreeing on the issues and where we need to drive this set of technology,&quot; he said.&quot;IBM is well-known for its ability to produce secure protocols,&quot; he added. &quot;We have quite a bit of talent to bring to this foundation.&quot;He noted that Version 2.0 of the OpenID framework is still fairly new.&quot;You can&#39;t confuse the industry by coming in and throwing out a brand-new framework,&quot; Nadalin said, &quot;I think it&#39;s coming down to that on the 2.0 level, we get the kind of interoperability we need.&quot;Beyond sign-on, various efforts are underway to&#160;standardize how personal data can be moved around the Web. The Dataportability Workgroup wants to broaden the scope of portable data to things like user-created photos and videos.

The always provocative Brad Templeton, who hung out with a large cadre of geeks at the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW, or IIW2007) last week, has some cautions about new identity systems, even if they are all &quot;user-centric&quot;. These cautions lie in a paradox: &quot;The easier it is to give somebody ID information, the more often it will be done. And the easier it is to give ID information, the more palatable it is to ask for, or demand it.&quot; The italics are his.  Here he hits on the problem of market power asymmetries (vendors strong, customers weak) that have been with us for the whole Industrial Age, and are with us still. I think we have a way to overcome those, and that Brad's Paradox may provide exactly the conceptual hurdle we need to see before we can make progress. \

Paul Jones is rejoicing a bit about the OpenID and Typekey functionality Wez Furlong shared just the other day on his blog.   Wez Furlong gives us good news about implementing the math functions needed to support TypeKey and OpenID more directly within PHP.   Paul also mentions that the Solar framework has also had the Typekey support integrated for a while now (as an adapter) that uses the "big-number math functions" currently available to PHP developers. Wez's solution, however, would just about make those obsolete.

If incoming mail contains the word "identity" it goes to a mailbox I started in late 2004. It has over 7000 emails in it now. The majority of those are from the Identity Gang list. The Identity Gang got its name when it first met informally on the December 31, 2004 edition of Gillmor Gang. I've lost track of how many workshops and meetings and other exercizes in convergence we've had, but the progress continues to be amazing. I just looked at what Eric Norlin of IDG wrote here, then at what Scott Kveton of JanRain wrote here then at what Kim Cameron of Microsoft wrote here &#151; to pick just three out of countless posts, all connected somehow. You can see the progress in just one month. This observation comes in the midst of thinking about a form of  Vendor Relationship Management that has the same initials as CRM, but a different meaning: Creator Relationship Management. I would like to relate to creators in a better, less intermediated way.
