Monday, January 21st, 2008

Eve (aka xmlgrrl) posted the following bit of musing today..

Circles of trust: disaster? or really bad idea?
http://www.xmlgrrl.com/blog/archives/2008/01/21/circles-of-trust-disaster-or-really-bad-idea/

..which I tend to think hits the proverbial nail pretty squarely on the head wrt “open internet”, “trust all comers”, and “trust circles”.
One very small, detail-level comment I have on her post is that where she writes..

(Draft) Technical Comparison: OpenID and SAML

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Over the past couple of years quite a few folks have asked me, and I’m sure others, “what’s the salient differences between OpenID and SAML?” So earlier this year I began hacking together a technical comparison of the two. It’s an interesting exercise comparing two Web SSO protocols, even one as ostensibly simple, and […]

Latest revisions of SAML-lSSO and SAML OpenID Profile

Friday, September 21st, 2007

I’ve updated the SAML-lSSO and SAML OpenID Profile specs just to bring them up-to-date with the latest revisions of various SAML and OpenID specs and to fix minor editorial issues. The SAML-lSSO spec is presently not a current IETF Internet-Draft — it’s prior version expired a few months ago. We’re thinking about whether we want […]

A plug for Gizmo

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

So there’s this bit of software called Gizmo that’s pretty cool, available from GizmoProject.com. It’s a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) -based “softphone” widget, err.. gizmo, that allows one to make voice calls on the Internet, like VoIP, duh.
Anyway, obvious to anyone who’s paid a lick of attention the past few years, this competes with […]
