The possibility that Internet users may one day be able to safely use a single log-in and password for multiple web sites advanced Thursday. The OpenID Foundation, which is working to develop an identity-management system for the Web, announced that software giants Google, IBM, VeriSign and Yahoo have joined its executive board.

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.

Continuing on with his look at his OpenID library and its implementation, Padraic Brady has two new posts with more of the story.   From the first post:   As a follow on from my previous entry about OpenID in the Zend Framework, I've been in brief contact with Dmitry Stogov across a scattering of emails. Dmitry posted his OpenID proposal for the framework over at the Proposals Wiki earlier in the week. [...] It's actually very hard to comment constructively rather than simply handing over my code which probably says a lot more all by itself. [...] Anyway, I've agreed to port my OpenID library to PEAR as a PHP5 package. I checked with the mailing list, and the approach I've taken in splitting the library across a number of freestanding components hasn't seen any objections. On the flipside, it does help by providing upgrades to existing PEAR Encryption packages which are not yet migrated to PHP5 versions.   And from post number two:   Over the weekend, I managed to grab a few hours to dig around my OpenID library with the ultimate development tools: patience and experimentation. [...] What I've refactored towards is a splitting of the OpenID process based on three categories: Request, Redirect, Response.
