Mozilla arbeitet an einem neuen “Identity in the Browser“-Projekt namens BrowserID:
For users, BrowserID provides a safer and easier way to sign in.
For developers, BrowserID offers a world class sign-in experience with only a couple lines of code.
For identity providers, BrowserID lets you give your users an identity they can use everywhere.
Das W3C startet einen Identity in the Browser Workshop:
As the Web becomes increasingly a focal point for economic and social activity, there is an urgent need for trustworthy, widely-applicable digital identity management. This includes the need for authentication and authorization to work across multiple web-sites, enterprises, devices, and browsers in a uniform and easy-to-use manner.
Leider scheint Chris Messina nicht dabei zu sein… mir hat seine damalige Konzeptstudie sehr gut gefallen!
Weave, ein in den Mozilla Labs entwickeltes Addon, bietet in einer ersten Beta jetzt auch einen browser-gestützten OpenID-Login an.
