Comments on: OpenID at Work http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/05/07/openid-at-work/ Jeff Nolan's take on investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and the technology industry Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:44:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ric http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/05/07/openid-at-work/comment-page-1/#comment-110038 Ric Wed, 09 May 2007 03:51:33 +0000 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/05/07/openid-at-work/#comment-110038 Paul: security is YOUR problem - but only for access to YOUR system, however that may be represented. But we know that model is broken - as a consumer of your service, I don't want to have to replicate ad infinitum all the claims and credentials I have already given to several others, and will no doubt be asked to give to several more, and which invariably require more knowledge of me than is actually required to USE your service, but adds to your confidence in me as a 'real' person. Already I am refusing to take up some services that add to this problem. That doesn't mean that the problem is fixed yet - but OpenID and Infocards are useful steps along the way to you and I being confident enough in each others' identity on the Web to comfortably do business.

That doesn’t mean that the problem is fixed yet – but OpenID and Infocards are useful steps along the way to you and I being confident enough in each others’ identity on the Web to comfortably do business.

At the end of the day, access security is our problem and we just don't feel comfortable outsourcing that. But, I keep watching and waiting. We looked closely at using OpenID with Big Contacts.

The Microsoft branding has hindered the interest in Infocards to some extent (despite Kim Cameron's best efforts) but one area where that brand will be of assistance is with corporates.
