The InfoCard Identity Revolution.

Quick primer on what InfoCard is about, and how it fulfills Kim Cameron’s 7 laws of Identity.

Yahoo has released a new Web based auth mechanism, BBAuth. As far as I can tell it provides SSO, and also access to the User’s Yahoo data(Yahoo Photos and Yahoo Mail only at the moment).

Dick Hardt says:

…Yahoo is deepening their identity silo…

Dare Obasanjo asks:

1. Are there shipping technologies today that allow me to do what I want in an “Identity 2.0” way?
2. Are they as easy to implement as telling mashup developers to include a link to my website in their UI and then process the data they get back when the user is redirected back to their site after signing in?

and the answers are No, and Hell No respectively

I think both views are correct. Yahoo’s BBAuth is an identity silo, but there also isn’t an easy way to plug in a auth mechanism that is easy to use for developers and users.

This is one of the most interesting areas in development today and I look forward to what the future holds.
