P&aacute;draic Brady has posted a two part look at a service discovery process as it pertains to things like OpenID via Yadis.   From part one:   This first entry is an examination of Yadis, a Specification which is relied upon by OpenID. Of course Yadis is a topic of its own, since it is also used by Light-Weight Identity (LID), sxip Identity, and mIDm. You can bet more will join in once Yadis becomes more firmly established.   In this first part, he talks about what Yadis is, how it can help with service discovery, and how it would follow a "breadcrumb trail" to get to the information it needs (like getting the actual Yadi slocation from the initial OpenID request).   From part two:   After all this fuss and running about, it's easy to miss the point of Yadis - getting that final Yadis XRD document that describes the Services associated with a given ID.   Part two looks more at working with the Yadis Resource Descriptor information to grap the Type information out of it for the actual locations you'll needed. He also links to some more information on the Yadis specification in PDF form.

In a new post today, P&aacute;draic Brady takes a look at the OpenID library included in the Zend Framework and his own efforts to create functionality of his own.   Here in the present, everyone I work with is all too aware of OpenID. [...] Enter the Zend Framework. If you've ever looked under the hood of the JanRain PHP-Openid library you'll notice they implement all of this without a single dependency on PEAR or other external classes.   He notes that this application of the "Not Invented Here" method that the Zend Framework follows might not be the best when there are already plenty of libraries out there that help with this exact functionality. He mentions a PEAR class that helps with it, but is written in PHP4 and hasn't quite been optimized.

Yahoo appears close to implementing&#160;OpenID, a Web authentication standard that relieves people of the need to remember multiple passwords to log into different Web sites.Yahoo controls a domain me.yahoo.com, which shows a short message indicating the company will act as an identity provider for OpenID.Code on pages at Flickr.com, owned by Yahoo, could also let a person use their Flickr login and profile for logging into other OpenID-compatible sites. The code can be seen by viewing the source of Flickr photostream pages, and points to&#160;https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/auth.OpenID, an open-source project, has gained support&#160;from two other major Internet players, Microsoft and Google. However, those companies are not widely providing support on their sites for OpenID yet.But an early implementation of OpenID by Yahoo could provide a spark for broader support, some say.&quot;I expect Yahoo&#39;s implementation to be a major influence in encouraging OpenID 2 adoption,&quot; wrote Simon Willison, a freelance Web consultant and developer who used to work for Flickr. In January last year, Willison launched idproxy.net, a Web site that links Yahoo IDs and OpenIDs.OpenID is referred to as a decentralized system since no one company or entity controls all of the identity information. It gives users more power to determine who they want to share their identity with and avoids the potential security problems of having a massive amount of data locked up in a single database. The system is also free.Web sites acting as an identity provider for OpenID give users a unique URL (Uniform Resource Locator). When a person encounters another Web site supporting OpenID, they can enter that URL along with the password they have registered with the identity provider, which is then verified in order to login at the new site.The person is then allowed to carry their profile or other information into the new Web site, a concept known as single sign-on. It means that people may need fewer passwords but would be able to securely share their data and login on more Web sites.A variety of companies and Web sites are supporting OpenID, such as AOL, LiveJournal, Technorati and mobile operator Orange, which is owned by France T&#233;l&#233;com, according to the OpenID Web site. Hundreds of other Web sites are also using OpenID.Yahoo could not be reached for comment.&#160;

In the first step to encouraging broader support of its DomainKeys anti-spam technology, Yahoo! has announced it will integrate the e-mail authentication method into its Web-based e-mail. DomainKeys uses public and private keys to verify the origin of an e-mail, requiring both the sender and recipient mail servers to utilize the technology. Thus far, Earthlink and Google have said they will adopt DomainKeys, but giants AOL and Microsoft are backing alternate anti-spam proposals - namely SPF and Sender ID.
