As long as no such thing exists, no wonder prospective adopters are confused.<\/li>\n<li>Testing! User-centric identity is inherently decentralized: how in the world can we make sure that thousands, maybe millions, of different installations of code could possibly interoperate reliably? How do we find out that implementation 1,234 doesn&#8217;t with implementation 925,834? How do we debug them? How do we support (non-technical) customers who use an identity from host A at Relying Party B, and they can&#8217;t authenticate? Giving them the run-around is not going to win any favors with anyone &#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Specifically, how are we going to test Yadis? (that&#8217;s reasonably easy)<\/li>\n<li>How are we going to test <a href=\"http:\/\/lid.netmesh.org\/\">LID<\/a>&#8216;s GPG-based SSO, and in particular <a href=\"http:\/\/openid.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">OpenID<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;d like to define a Yadis service that &quot;marks&quot; Yadis Relying Parties, so a machine client (like a browser, or RSS aggregator, or &#8230;) could determine, without user intervention: oh, this is a Relying Party, I should try to authenticate using this particular SSO protocol.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;d like to define a protocol by which users could authenticate against RSS feeds, that isn&#8217;t username and password (because that won&#8217;t scale) and by which user A could get different content than user B from the same feed at the same URL. Anybody else want to solve this problem?<\/li>\n<li>How Higgins, Yadis and OSIS could and should relate.<\/li>\n<li>A common Yadis user experience \/ look-and-feel.<\/li>\n<li>How Drupal could declare its existing (and known insecure) distributed authentication system a Yadis service.<\/li>\n<li>How <a href=\"http:\/\/sxip.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sxip<\/a> could\/should support <a href=\"http:\/\/yadis.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yadis<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The list is longer but there&#8217;s not much of a point in continuing ;-) I guess if I get about three of those over the two remaining days of IIW, I&#8217;ll be really happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somebody asked me yesterday what I want to discuss at IIW.
