(2006-09-29) Yahoo Identity Service

Jeremy Zawodny on Yahoo providing B B Auth a Digital Identity service tied into their directory. It would be nice if they and/or Google would act like a provider of one of the open Single Sign-On systems like OpenID or INames or something...

Kim Cameron is a bit concerned about the Security aspects to their approach. But through Yahoo-issued Info Card-s B Bauth would avoid the loss of context that will otherwise lead to password harvesting.

• He has similar concerns about OpenID.
