OpenID/Yadis

[bascule]

So, if I were writing a paper for a talk now instead of a few months ago (my paper got rejected ) I'd definitely do it on OpenID.

Anyone checked this out yet? I heard about it probably a year or two ago and didn't give it much credence, and thought of it basically as a distributed Passport.

But it's way more than that... think a distributed Kerberos for the entire Internet, among other things.

Neat stuff.
