Higgins is a framework that will enable users and enterprises to integrate identity, profile, and relationship information across multiple systems. Using service adapters, existing and new systems such as directories, collaboration spaces, and communications technologies (e.g. Microsoft/IBM WS-*, LDAP, email, IM, etc.) can be plugged into the Higgins framework. Applications written to the Higgins API can virtually integrate the identity, profile, and relationship information across these heterog

A robust library for verifying and serving OpenID identities. Features: Easy to use API for verifying OpenID identites New support for serving OpenID identites Does not depend on underlying web framework Supports multiple storage mechanisms (Filesystem, SQL) Example code to help you get started, including: WEBrick based consumer Ruby on rails based consumer Ruby on rails based server OpeIDLoginGenerator for quickly getting creating a rails app that uses OpenID for authentic

Penrose is a virtual directory server based on Apache-Directory-Server. Virtual directory enables federating (aggregating) identity data from multiple heterogeneous sources like directory, databases, flat files, and web services – real-time – and makes it available to identity consumers via LDAP.

Apache Directory Server is a project to create an enterprise directory server platform.

The “OpenLID” (or maybe “OpenLogin”) PHP library allows for logins with either LID or OpenID. Its name is of course playing on this fact. It uses a very simple API, but should be accessed through the LibXprofile (or its mini version) wrapper rather. the authentication service pre-check (pubkey or handle fetching) determines which protocol is used (prefers what the remote server wants) OpenID’s URL parameters cause some troubles for PHP, but otherwise the mixe

Shibboleth, a project of Internet2/MACE, is developing architectures, policy structures, practical technologies, and an open source implementation to support inter-institutional sharing of web resources subject to access controls. In addition, Shibboleth will develop a policy framework that will allow inter-operation within the higher education community.

OpenSAML 1.1 – an Open Source Security Assertion Markup Language implementation. OpenSAML 1.1 is a set of open source Java and C++ libraries that implement the SAML 1.0 and 1.1 specifications.

LID is a quite simple, but powerful technology that empowers individuals to keep control over and manage their on-line digital identities.
