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.
