OpenID Authentication Service
Contents
1. Introduction
This is the home page for the OpenID Authentication Service specification and related information. OpenID Authentication enables an XRI authority to prove control of an XRI using XRI resolution to discover and invoke the [http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-1_1.html OpenID Authentication 1.1] protocol.
OpenID Authentication is one of two XDI.org ISS Authentication specifications. The other is SamlAuthnService.

2. Current Specification
Note: XDI.org is currently setting up its own XRI forwarding service. Once in place, all XDI.org i-services specifications will be referenceable using a versioned XRI. Until then, following is the authoritative list.
The V1.0 specification is currently at the Working Draft level. Implementation of this specification is required for XDI.org-Accredited I-Brokers. See IbrokerCompliance.
