      OpenID is an open and distributed system that allows a user to log-in to multiple sites via a single user-name that is a URL. When trying to log-in to a service, the user is diverted back to their authentication site, where they enter their password, and the identity site tells the web service that the person is who they say they are.

            Interesting. Sounds similar to what passport tried to do. But ofcourse your internet identity would be owned by Microsoft in passport and that wouldn't work.


            One thing I couldn't find in the application protocol flow is assertion propagation across web sites. This is so that say you logged in with OpenID mechanism on one site (abc.com), you wouldn't be challenged on another site (xyz.com) in the same web session
