One of my prinicipal take aways from the Burton Catalyst Conference: Identity 2.0 ("user-centric identity") is shining considerably brighter these days in the identity management firmament. While not a supernova event like Apple's rollout of the iPhone, we can expect to see more exciting developments.
The maturation of Microsoft's CardSpace, the user-centric interop demonstration at Catalyst, and new developments around OpenID all presage a bright future for the user-centric approach advocated by identity gurus Dick Hardt (CEO, Sxip) and Kim Cameron (Microsoft's Identity Architect).
There's quite a buzz around OpenID both on the Net and in the higher education community. Google trends confirms a sharp uptick in interest for OpenID.
It appears that we will start to see more and more websites supporting it. Stay tuned.
