Web Identity Frameworks: PiP
VeriSign has released the VeriSign PIP as a elegant and simple way to utilize URL-based identity via OpenID/Yadis.
This service will allow application developers to handle authentication using URL-based user profiles, which then in turn allows users to control access to their information based on what services they interact with.
I highly recommend you check it out and start using it wherever you can, and if you’re an application developer, hook your application into it.
I have high hopes for the future of handling authentication and being able to delegate control to the services I use.
