Web 2.0

What is Web 2.0? Users in control Data sharing Social collaboration Lightweight business models Perpetual beta Application platform The Long Tail

The Long Tail

For the Economists The 80% tail matters Virtual shelf space is limitless quot;We sold more books today that didn't sell at all yesterday than we sold today of all the books that did sell yesterday.quot; Amazon.com http://longtail.typepad.com/the_long_tail/2005/01/deﬁnitions_ﬁn.html

For Everyone Else Mass social networks vs. niché social networks Allows access to information that otherwise would be quot;unimportantquot; Delivered content vs. discovered content Found be me Recommended by my friends

What is OpenID? Single sign-on for the web Simple and light-weight (not going to replace your bank card pin) Easy to use and deploy Built upon proven existing technologies (DNS, HTTP, SSL/TLS, Difﬁe-Hellman) Decentralized (no single point of failure in the protocol) Free!

An OpenID is a URI URLs are globally unique and ubiquitous OpenID allows proving ownership of an URI People already have identity at URLs via blogs, photos, MySpace, FaceBook, DAUM, etc

Problems it Solves Too many usernames and passwords or the lack of different passwords Someone took my desired username My online proﬁle is spread across the Internet without my control and I can't beneﬁt from it when I go somewhere new Account management is hard to do right

How Does it Work?

My OpenID quot;openid.serverquot; points to my OpenID Provider

1. Site fetches the HTML of my OpenID 2. Finds quot;openid.serverquot; 3. Establishes a shared secret with the Provider 4. Redirects my browser to the Provider where I authenticate and allow the OpenID login 5. Provider redirects my browser back to the site with an OpenID response 6. Site veriﬁes the signature and logs me in

O M E Using OpenID D

quot;Hasn't this been done before?quot; Great for Centralized Centralized the enterprise

Done! Time to create an OpenID on your own domain: ~5 minutes

Security and Trust

Protocol Security Use SSL correctly throughout the protocol Protects against man-in-the-middle and eavesdropping attacks Generate strong MAC keys and re-negotiate as needed Used to verify data integrity and authenticity of OpenID responses Verify NONCEs Protects against replay attacks

Trust quot;Trust ﬁrst requires identityquot; - Brad Fitzpatrick OpenID does not tell you if a user is good, bad, or even human Challenge them via a CAPTCHA or email veriﬁcation Use whitelists and blacklists Ask someone else whom you trust

Scaling Up OpenID OpenID Provider Authentication Policy Extension, draft published June 2006 Relying Parties can ask for authentication policies such as quot;phishing resistantquot; or quot;multi-factorquot; Providers can respond with policies the user complied with, time since they authenticated, and strength of the credential(s) used per NIST guidelines
