Will identity be open source?
,----[ Quote ]
| The release of ArisIS, a Version 1.0 identity framework from Open Liberty,
| could be a milestone in corporate identity.
|
| It could be Sun’s second biggest contribution to open source, second only to
| Java in importance.
|
| It combines two projects formerly code-named Aristotle and Wakame, the first
| a governance framework, the second a client library.

Will a Little Openness Solve Your Web Identity Crisis?
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm sure you can see the potential pitfalls of this architecture- what if you
| fall into the clutches of an inept or criminal OpenID service provider? It is
| easy to change to a new provider, and to set up several different OpenIDs,
| but that doesn't solve all the problems caused by a shady or incompetent one.
| You could, in classic FOSS do-it-yourself fashion, take matters into your own
| hands and run your own OpenID server. Sun Microsystems put a novel twist on
| this by running its own server, and issuing OpenIDs only to its own
| employees.
|
| On the other hand, can it be any worse than the current system of
| almost-daily spectacular (and spectacularly lame) security breaches? It seems
| we've all been pwned many times over by now. While we're probably a couple of
| years away from widespread adoption and nice user-friendly management tools,
| OpenID could represent a real breakthrough, so watch this space for future
| developments.
