OpenID 2.0 and Attribute Exchange 1.0

OpenID 2.0 and Attribute Exchange 1.0

At last! Good news last night from the Internet Identity Workshop in California: OpenID 2.0 is finally final! I agree with Simon that the most interesting new thing in 2.0 is likely directed identity. And, yes, Drupal 6 already supports it.

However, one of the more interesting things (I think) is the final release of Attribute Exchange 1.0. I think attribute exchange (think profile data sharing and updating - and digitally signed assertions) represents the killer next step in online identity. Kudos to everyone involved! Time to get crackin' on some code :)

OpenID has come a long way, and I'm loving its integration with Drupal. Are directed identities similar to what's accomplished with OpenID URL? This identity system can get really deep!

Openid has definitely come along way and I think it's a bonus that Drupal 6 already supports it. There's no holding back...
