Another similar system

[loune]

Hi List,

I've seen many similar systems mentioned on the list and I'm quite 
surprised at the number of different systems at varying degrees of 
development. Maybe it is inevitable that there will be competing systems 
like the situation with RSS/RDF/Atom.

Anywho, I have also drafted up a system similar to OpenID, called Dash.
Details are here: http://dev.nasquan.com/dash/

For the lazy, here are the main differences:
- Instead of web addresses for ID, it uses a Dash ID, format similar to 
email addresses.
- System doesn't require cryptographic signage since it relies mostly on 
server-to-server communications

Maybe you guys can find something useful.

cheers,
