Estonia OpenID follow up

In the comments for an earlier post Martin Paljak has posted a follow up to the original info about the Estonian OpenID project.

OpenId for every Estonian

Kerry — Thu, 24 May 2007 22:10:00 +0100

Looks like there’s going to be an OpenID for every Estonian. Cool.

Simon Willison asks how Smart Cards help with Phishing. I believe it’s because they are a form of 2FA where only one of the 2 Factors is ever exposed and hence all the credentials can’t be phished.

I’m not an expert though, and of course a quick google search turns up some examples of 2FA being phished.

btw, I first read this as “OpenID for all Etonians”, which I thought was kind of weird, but not totally out of the question.

OpenID yourself

Sam Ruby shows how to get yourself enabled for OpenID.

For Typo, I edited app/helpers/article_helper.rb and edited the page_header method to include the 2 links the OpenID delegate requires.

Yahoo BBAuth

Kerry — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 21:48:00 +0100

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:

Are there shipping technologies today that allow me to do what I want in an “Identity 2.0” way?

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.
