People with a Yahoo user name and password will be able to use that ID information to access non-Yahoo Web sites that&#160;support the OpenID 2.0 digital identity framework, reducing the amount of different log-in information people need to create, remember and enter online.Already, almost 10,000 Web sites support OpenID, an open framework available for free to end users and Web site operators alike, according to the OpenID Foundation.Yahoo&#39;s move will triple the number of OpenID accounts to 368 million by adding its 248 million active registered users to the rolls, the company said Thursday.OpenID addresses one of several issues related to giving people more control of their online activities. Other groups are focusing on data portability, to let people move around the data and content they create online, so that they don&#39;t have to enter it manually in, say, every social-networking site they sign up for.Yet other initiatives, like Google&#39;s OpenSocial, aim to create standard interfaces so that developers can create applications that run in multiple social-networking sites, instead of having to rewrite the same application multiple times for every site.For all of these initiatives, it&#39;s critical for major Internet players to get involved, so that the benefits of standard technology and methods developed by groups like OpenID can have a real-world impact.Unsurprisingly, in Thursday&#39;s statement, Scott Kveton, the OpenID Foundation&#39;s chairman, hailed Yahoo&#39;s support as a crucial validation of the framework that will help spur its adoption by other large Web site operators.Other major players that have expressed interest and gotten involved in varying degrees with OpenID include Google, Six Apart, AOL, Sun, Novell, and Microsoft.Yahoo&#39;s announcement doesn&#39;t come as a complete surprise, since signs that it had been working on an OpenID implementation had surfaced. For example, a short message in the domain me.yahoo.com indicating the company would act as an identity provider for OpenID was spotted last week.Yahoo participated in the development of version 2.0 of the OpenID framework, which the company said provides new security features. Yahoo users who log in to third-party OpenID sites should know that the log-in process doesn&#39;t reveal e-mail or instant-message addresses, Yahoo said Thursday.Yahoo&#39;s initial OpenID service will be available in public beta on Jan. 30 and the company is working with several partners, including Plaxo, so that the Yahoo ID will work on their sites that day.&#160;

Dave Dash has posted a quick script to help with an integration of openID into your application - well, really just to read the response back easily.   I'm working on implementing openID for reviewsby.us and for use in symfony apps. One thing I was having trouble with was parsing key value pairs, which is one of the requirements to reading responses. It's a fairly easy task, but [PHP][] offers so many ways to do this.   He notes the spec for how the results are returned and shares his code (based around a regular expression) that goes through the response and separates things out into key/value pairs automatically.

Yahoo&#39;s product will use licensed technology from Pasadena, California-based X1 Technologies to help users search e-mail and a variety of files -- from photos and music to PDF-format documents -- on their hard drives.

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.

Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO) has beefed up e-mail storage for users of its free e-mail service from 100 megabytes to 250 MB. The Internet giant also unveiled an anti-spam authentication technology called DomainKeys, which curtails messages sent from spoofed addresses.

(InfoWorld) - Yahoo Inc. has introduced a mechanism for external developers to give their Web applications access to data that Yahoo members have stored in Yahoo services. Yahoo made available the protocol that provides this bridge, called Browser Based Authentication, on Friday, and works with two Yahoo services -- Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Photos -- with support for other services planned for the next few months. The protocol requires that users give their authorization prior to giving third-party Web applications access to their Yahoo data. Developers also need to register their applications with Yahoo. The idea behind Browser Based Authentication is to extend the popular "mashups" of Yahoo Web services with external applications by bringing personal user data, like stored e-mail messages and photos, into the mix. Providing access to this data will allow Yahoo members to use external Web applications in ways that haven't been possible yet. Until now, this data has been kept out of the reach of non-Yahoo developers. For example, external developers now can write applications that let Yahoo users perform actions on their e-mail messages or photos that Yahoo hasn't come up with. Yahoo wants to tap into the creativity of external developers who can broaden the scope of tools, applications and features available for its online services. More information can be found here.
