OpenID
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Web
OpenID is a decentralised, web based, authentication system that has many uses.
Although I have known about OpenID for quite some time now, I basically totaly ignored it and it’s potential. I will be posting lots more information over the next few days, but I have just finishing watching a couple of talks on the concept so I’m quite exciting at the moment.
Let me just say that I truly feel that OpenID is going to become an integral part of the online web community. If you can spare just 15 min, watch the first bit of this video. I thought I was fairly well versed on the subject, but when Simon exhausted my knowledge in the first 10 or so minutes I knew there was something big here. Something that could turn out to be a staple building block of tomorrows Internet 4.0 or whatever version the media is currently all hyped up about.
