Abstract

The work examines the identity discovery problems that needed to be addressed by the OpenID 2.0 protocol in order to enable a user-centric Internet identity layer. The paper illustrates how the OASIS XRI and XRDS specifications were applied to help solve these identity discovery challenges. The work also considers interoperable identity discovery for other Internet identity frameworks such as SAML, Information Cards, and the Higgins Project, and recommends future work.
