Decentralized Online Sign-On System new

Online user management has been a subject of discussions for years. Many Web users and Web publishers as well prefer being anonymous. Many prefer being known and give other Web users an easy way to find out who they are, where they live, what they do etc. Which route each Web user takes is still a choice, but all users need to manage sign-on ids. Many Web users even use volumes of Web services and for each they need to remember or keep track of their login information.

The World Wide Web is powered by software and information technology and that is where the Web distinct itself from the offline “human” world. The technology offers the opportunity for anyone to choose how he or she discloses his or her identity online. It should be a matter of choice for anyone. The Web also offers the opportunity to simplify the management of user IDs and login information and we are already seeing signs of it online.

Related to this subject we stumbled upon a Web site, openid.net, which is a framework for user-centric digital identity, a decentralized single sign-on system. Well known Web sites are already offering OpenID. Any Web site can employ OpenID and offer their users the convenience and possibly added online security.
