Rheumatoid Arthritis: Pathophysiology, Risk Factors and Guidelines Driven Management
Updates in Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: What New Guidelines Mean to Your Practice
Memory problems in patients with FM not linked to risk for Alzheimers
Many patients with rheumatoid arthritis might be treated effectively with an initial and long-term prednisone dose of less than 5 mg daily, according to study results.
Researchers evaluated 308 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who received prednisone from 1980 to 2004. Medications and multidimensional health assessment questionnaire (MDHAQ) scores from each visit were included in the patient database. Initial prednisone doses of more than 5 mg/day, 5 mg/day or less than 5 mg/day were computed by proportion of patients in 5-year periods: 1980-1984, 1985-1989, 1990-1994, 1995-1999 and 2000-2004.
Changes in mean scores between patients treated with less than 5 mg/day vs. those treated with at least 5 mg/day were compared for MDHAQ function, pain and routine assessment of patient index data 3.
The mean initial daily prednisone doses in milligrams during the 5-year periods were 10.3, 6.5, 5.1, 4.1 and 3.6, respectively. Proportion of patients receiving more than 5 mg/day initially were 49%, 16%, 7%, 7% and 3%. Proportion treated with 5 mg/day were 51%, 80%, 70%, 26% and 10%, and proportion treated with less than 5 mg/day were 0%, 4%, 23%, 67% and 86%. After 1990, the majority of patients also received methotrexate, while prednisone treatment at less than 5 mg/day was maintained indefinitely.
"Patients treated with 5 mg/day or more had poorer clinical status," the researchers reported. "MDHAQ scores were improved similarly in patients treated with less than 5 mg/day or 5 mg/day or more."
Skin-thinning and bruising were primary adverse effects, with less than 10% of patients experiencing newly developed hypertension, diabetes and cataracts.
"The data indicate a decline in initial prednisone dose … between 1980 and 2004 from 10.3 mg/day to 3.6 mg/day," the researchers reported. "The proportion of patients who were taking methotrexate was increased from 10% in 1985 to 77% in 2000, which may explain in part reduction of prednisone … . Prednisone at initial and long-term doses less than 5 mg/day with indefinite continuation appeared effective for most patients with RA, with few adverse effects."

DEFINITION of 'Required Cash'
The total dollar amount that must be posted up front by the buyer to close a mortgage or to refinance an existing property. The required cash amount can include any of the following amounts if they are requested at closing:
-Any down payment
-Points or other fixed charges to the lender
-Insurance premiums
-Title insurance or per diem interest
The required cash should be expressed on the Good Faith Estimate of Settlement, which is a mandatory step in the lending process.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Required Cash'
While taking out a mortgage used to require a 10-20% cash down payment, newer types of mortgages along with an easy credit environment relaxed standards to the point where many people were able to borrow large amounts with no down payment. That cost didn't just vanish, however, it was simply added to the principal due on the mortgage, leading to higher interest costs over the life of the loan. "No down payment" and "interest only" mortgages were one of the hallmarks of the subprime lending boom during 2004-2006, but many of these borrowers will end up having their homes foreclosed as a result of rising interest rates and lack of equity buildup.

DEFINITION of 'Predatory Lending'
Unscrupulous actions carried out by a lender to entice, induce and/or assist a borrower in taking a mortgage that carries high fees, a high interest rate, strips the borrower of equity, or places the borrower in a lower credit rated loan to the benefit of the lender. As with most things of a dishonest nature, new and different predatory lending schemes frequently arise.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Predatory Lending'
Many states have anti predatory lending laws. A dedicated consumer who shops around for a mortgage is unlikely to be taken by predatory lending. Additionally, becoming more financially literate helps borrowers spot red flags and avoid questionable lenders. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has also been taking measures to combat predatory lending.

Fed Official Hints At Longer Period For Low Rates
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen says the central bank may keep its key short-term interest rate at a record low even after unemployment falls close to a more normal level.
The Fed has said it would hold its benchmark rate near zero as long as unemployment is above 6.5 percent and long-run inflation forecasts are below 2.5 percent. The unemployment rate is currently 7.9 percent.
In a speech Monday to the AFL-CIO, Yellen said those are "thresholds for possible action, not triggers that will necessarily prompt an immediate increase."
Her comments echoed remarks Chairman Ben Bernanke made in December after the Fed announced it would change its forward guidance for short-term rate increases. At a news conference after the Fed's December meeting, Bernanke said the Fed might decide to keep stimulating the economy even after unemployment falls below 6.5 percent. Yellen has been a close Bernanke ally. She has consistently voted to support his initiatives to boost the economy. Those include the latest change in guidance for short-term rates, as well as bond purchases that have helped push long-term rates lower. Both are designed to encourage more borrowing and spending, which boosts economic growth. Yellen is considered a top prospect to succeed Bernanke as chairman, should he leave when his current term ends on Jan. 31, 2014. Analysts said Yellen's comments are a signal that Fed remains committed to aggressive stimulus measures to boost growth and lower unemployment. "Yellen does not sound ready to slow asset purchases, far less contemplate tightening policy, any time soon," Dana Saporta, director of U.S. economics at Credit Suisse, said in a research note.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Drool? Yes.. *drool* - ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro

However, what we have here is something that even us hardcore nVidians can't help but take note of. Anandtech has a nice little preview of this monster of a graphics card.

Although we do not have hardware yet we were recently given the opportunity to spend some time with ATI in order to give you an idea of what exactly the new All-in-Wonder brings to the table. It is much more than just a Radeon 9700 Pro with a tuner slapped on. Much, much more.I won't spoil it for you, so head over and check it out!

ATi acknowledges Radeon 9700 AGP 8x problem
One of our readers sent me a link to the Rage3D forums where they say that ATi are fully aware of the Radeon 9700's AGP 8x problem and has a solution for those of you experiencing problems with their new graphics cards after what we reported on the problem yesterday a couple of posts below.
According to ATI, they are now receiving and testing these 8X AGP boards. They are ALSO finding the 9700 does not work at all or works intermittently at best on these boards. Engineering indicated most of the boards already shipped have this problem.More information at the Rage3D Forums
Solution: A new BIOS and some board revisions are now available that fix this problem. Call ATI Customer Service for help with the issue. At present, they will ship a replacement board that WILL work in SiS and VIA 8X, but they are also considering a BIOS flash solution for problem boards.
Customer Service and Engineering deserve a 10-1/2 for their wonderful handling of this issue. They are very concerned that it be corrected quickly. They also shared that most of their 8X validation testing was done with Intel's unreleased 8X chipset and that they are just now receiving shipping versions of the SiS and VIA 8X chipsets.

ATi Radeon 9700 AE2 Stepping AGP 8x Bug
Since receiving our Sapphire Radeon 9700 graphics card a couple of days ago during testing we have been experiencing a few strange problems - such as continuous system reboots and programs and games crashing back to Windows desktop when used on all SiS 648, VIA KT400 and P4X400 based motherboards with AGP 8X support operational which we currently have testing.
We cannot be 100% sure if this is an isolated problem however can be sure in saying we received confirmation from our contact at Epox Taiwan (who got first hand information direct from ATi) saying the problem is only occurring in AE2 stepping Radeon 9700 chips, and not the newer AE3 chips which are now shipping from the Canadian company, who say fix the problems discussed here. The problem is, the AE2 stepping chips are vast, and thus many made it into the retail market where end-users are no doubt going to suffer. It's important to note that we had no problems what-so-ever running the AE2 stepping Radeon 9700 on VIA KT333 and Intel 845E/G based motherboards operating in either AGP 2x or 4x modes.
If you have any further information to add we'd appreciate it if you add it to the following thread in our Rumors and Speculation Forum. We'll be passing the information provided onto ATi and Epox to help remedy the problem.

Two More Radeon 9700 Reports
Another 2 more article notifications have come through for Radeon 9700 video cards with Sudhian Media first in with their look at the ATI Radeon 9700.
Not long ago, we showed you information about the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro video card at an event I attended in San Francisco. When walking away from the event, it was clear to me that ATI had a winner on their hands - if they could follow up their promise to ship the boards. Radeon 9700 Pro cards have been shipping for a while now and you can own one for yourself as many stores are now getting cards up for sale. The real question is whether you should go out and spend your hard earned cash on this card which will cost you from $360-$400, depending on what kind of deal you can find.More information at Sudhian Media
Next up comes t-break with their look at a sales sample Hercules 3D Prophet 9700 PRO.
Just last week, we took a look at our first Radeon 9700 graphics card- the Creative 3D Blaster 5 RX9700. Today, we have another one in our labs- this one comes from Hercules and is called 3D Prophet 9700 PRO. This is however, not the final version of the card- its a sales sample that the local Hercules distributor passed on to us. We shall be doing a full blown review of the retail card later on but for now, lets take a first look on what to expect from the upcoming Hercules Radeon 9700 PRO.More information at t-break

New Zalman VGA Heatpipe Coolers
I saw a link to nVChips France over at Warp2Search talking about Zalman's new VGA heatpipe cooler products. This heatpipe technology is certainly starting to take off.
The Zm80-HP is intended for the most powerful GPUs such as the GeForce4 Ti, while the Zm50-HP is adapted for graphic processors such as the GeForce2 or GeForce4 MX or Radeon 7500 that dissipate less heat.More information @ nVChips France

Slipstreaming, the next best thing since Sliced Bread
All I seem to be hearing about of late is slipstreaming this and that. Anyway, with the release of Windows XP SP1 the guys over at Liquid Ninjas (don't ask) have posted a short guide with lots of pictures showing how to slipstream XPSP1 with Windows XP.
Slipstreaming is the Integration of a Service Pack into the install so that the Operation System and the Service Pack will be installed at the same time. Now this is great until you realize you can't just burn the new files onto another CD and retain the ability to boot from CD.More information at Liquid Ninjas

Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr spoke about traumatic head injuries and other topics at a symposium. / 2008 photo by Kirthmon F. Dozier / DFP
Former Michigan quarterback Steven Threet's football career ended because he suffered four concussions in college.
On Tuesday, Lloyd Carr, who coached Threet during his redshirt season at U-M, delivered the keynote speech at a "Play Smart: Injury Prevention On and Off the Field" symposium attended by medical experts, coaches, parents and U-M women's soccer players at the university's School of Public Health.
Carr, who coached the Wolverines in 1995-2007, said when it comes to traumatic head injuries, particularly concussions in sports, "I'm uneducated."
But, he added, he is learning more about the issue and pressing for more research and action to deal with it by educating coaches and parents.
"Most of us are not educated as well as we need to be," Carr said about traumatic head injuries. "Education is the key."
Carr discussed helmet-to-helmet contact and leading with the head when tackling. He applauded broadcaster John Madden for preventing concussed players from returning to the "Madden NFL 12" game and EA Sports, makers of the game, for banning helmet-to-helmet hits.
He also praised NFL broadcaster Cris Collingsworth, a former player, for pointing out dangerous plays during games.
Carr said protecting players of all ages is a primary concern.
"Our mantra should be the boy's well-being," said Carr. "And the girl who plays soccer. That's more important than winning and the money that comes with success. I think anything is fair game ... to make it safer."
Other topics Carr addressed after his speech:
• On new U-M coach Brady Hoke: "There's a real excitement around the school on having Brady here. Brady is a very gregarious and outgoing guy. And he was here for eight years, and he's going to be able to relate to the players. There's a great feeling of enthusiasm, and that will be a very big thing going into the season."
• On quarterback Denard Robinson adapting to Hoke's pro-style offense: "Well, we won't know for sure until fall. But I do think he is such a wonderful athlete and has such a great arm, there's reason to be excited about 2011."
• On coach Jim Tressel's five-game suspension at Ohio State: "I don't know enough to really talk about it. I'm sure there are a lot of things we don't know about. I'm better off not commenting until we see the rest of it."

Ray Charles (soul musician, singer and songwriter)
~ Person
Ray Charles Robinson (commonly known as Ray Charles; September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and composer who is sometimes referred to as "The Genius".
He pioneered the genre of soul music during the 1950s by combining rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into music recorded by Atlantic Records. He also contributed to the racial integration of country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his two Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be granted artistic control by a mainstream record company. Frank Sinatra called him "the only true genius in show business", although Charles downplayed this notion. He was blind from the age of seven. His best friend in music was South Carolina-born James Brown, the "Godfather of Soul".
Charles cited Nat King Cole as a primary influence, but his music was also influenced by jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, and country artists of the day, including: Art Tatum, Louis Jordan, Charles Brown, and Louis Armstrong. Charles' playing reflected influences from country blues, barrelhouse and stride piano styles.
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Charles as number ten on their list of "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", and number two on their November 2008 list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In honoring him, American musician Billy Joel noted: "This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley".

Legendary actress Lauren Bacall – whose film career started in 1944 – passed away Tuesday at the age of 89.
Her first movie was
To Have and Have Not
, where she said a line that's been repeated by millions who probably don't know where it came from. "
You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and… blow
Her career included movies, television and the Broadway stage. She was a model who graced the cover of
Harper's Bazaar
, and was married to another film legend, Humphrey Bogart, until his death.
Check out this clip from

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
OpenID (OID) is an open standard and decentralized protocol by the non-profit OpenID Foundation that allows users to be authenticated by certain co-operating sites (known as Relying Parties or RP) using a third party service. This eliminates the need for webmasters to provide their own ad hoc systems and allowing users to consolidate their digital identities.[1] In other words, users can log into multiple unrelated websites without having to register with their information over and over again; Several large organizations either issue or accept OpenIDs on their websites according to the OpenID Foundation:[2] AOL, Blogger, Flickr, France Telecom, Google, Hyves, LiveJournal, Microsoft (provider name Microsoft account), Mixi, Myspace, Novell, Orange, Sears, Sun, Telecom Italia, Universal Music Group, VeriSign, WordPress, and Yahoo!. Other providers are BBC,[3] IBM,[4] PayPal,[5] Steam,[6] along with GitHub, Identi.ca, Last.fm, Linkedin, and Twitter.[7] However, some of those organizations also develop their own authentication management such as Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS), and Facebook stopped using OpenID and instead uses Facebook Connect.[8]
Users create accounts by selecting an OpenID identity provider, and then use those accounts to sign onto any website which accepts OpenID authentication. The OpenID standard provides a framework for the communication that must take place between the identity provider and the OpenID acceptor (the "relying party").[9] An extension to the standard (the OpenID Attribute Exchange) facilitates the transfer of user attributes, such as name and gender, from the OpenID identity provider to the relying party (each relying party may request a different set of attributes, depending on its requirements).[10]
The OpenID protocol does not rely on a central authority to authenticate a user's identity. Moreover, neither services nor the OpenID standard may mandate a specific means by which to authenticate users, allowing for approaches ranging from the common (such as passwords) to the novel (such as smart cards or biometrics).
The term OpenID may also refer to an identifier as specified in the OpenID standard; these identifiers take the form of a unique Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and are managed by some 'OpenID provider' that handles authentication.[1]
The current version of OpenID is OpenID 2.0, finalized and published in December 2007.[11]
As of December 2009[update], there are over 1 billion OpenID enabled accounts on the Internet (see below) and approximately 9 million sites have integrated OpenID consumer support.[12]
This section is outdated. (August 2014) |
An end-user is the entity that wants to assert a particular identity. A relying party (RP) is a web site or application that wants to verify the end-user's identifier. Other terms for this party include "service provider" or the now obsolete "consumer". An identity provider, or OpenID provider (OP) is a service that specializes in registering OpenID URLs or XRIs. OpenID enables an end-user to communicate with a relying party. This communication is done through the exchange of an identifier or OpenID, which is the URL or XRI chosen by the end-user to name the end-user's identity. An Identity provider provides the OpenID authentication (and possibly other identity services). The exchange is enabled by a User-agent, which is the program (such as a browser) used by the end-user to communicate with the relying party and OpenID provider.
The end-user interacts with a relying party (such as a website) that provides an option to specify an OpenID for the purposes of authentication; an end-user typically has previously registered an OpenID (e.g. alice.openid.example.org
) with an OpenID provider (e.g. openid.example.org
The relying party typically transforms the OpenID into a canonical URL form (e.g. http://alice.openid.example.org/
). The relying party also discovers whether to use a delegated identity (see below).application/xrds+xml
; this document may be available at the target URL and is always available for a target XRI.There are two modes in which the relying party may communicate with the OpenID provider:
, in which the relying party requests that the OpenID provider not interact with the end-user. All communication is relayed through the end-user's user-agent without explicitly notifying the end-user.checkid_setup
, in which the end-user communicates with the OpenID provider via the same user-agent used to access the relying party.The checkid_immediate
mode can fall back to the checkid_setup
mode if the operation cannot be automated.
First, the relying party and the OpenID provider (optionally) establish a shared secret, referenced by an associate handle, which the relying party then stores. If using the checkid_setup
mode, the relying party redirects the end-user's user-agent to the OpenID provider so the end-user can authenticate directly with the OpenID provider.
The method of authentication may vary, but typically, an OpenID provider prompts the end-user for a password or some cryptographic token, and then asks whether the end-user trusts the relying party to receive the necessary identity details.
If the end-user declines the OpenID provider's request to trust the relying party, then the user-agent is redirected back to the relying party with a message indicating that authentication was rejected; the relying party in turn refuses to authenticate the end-user.
If the end-user accepts the OpenID provider's request to trust the relying party, then the user-agent is redirected back to the relying party along with the end-user's credentials. That relying party must then confirm that the credentials really came from the OpenID provider. If the relying party and OpenID provider had previously established a shared secret, then the relying party can validate the identity of the OpenID provider by comparing its copy of the shared secret against the one received along with the end-user's credentials; such a relying party is called stateful because it stores the shared secret between sessions. In contrast, a stateless or dumb relying party must make one more background request (check_authentication
) to ensure that the data indeed came from the OpenID provider.
After the OpenID has been verified, authentication is considered successful and the end-user is considered logged in to the relying party under the identity specified by the given OpenID (e.g. alice.openid.example.org
). The relying party typically then stores the end-user's OpenID along with the end-user's other session information.
To obtain an OpenID-enabled URL that can be used to log into OpenID-enabled websites, a user registers an OpenID identifier with an identity provider. Identity providers offer the ability to register a URL (typically a third-level domain, e.g. username.example.com) that will automatically be configured with OpenID authentication service.
Once they have registered an OpenID, a user can also use an existing URL under their own control (such as a blog or home page) as an alias or "delegated identity". They simply insert the appropriate OpenID tags in the HTML[13] or serve a Yadis document.[14]
Starting with OpenID Authentication 2.0 (and some 1.1 implementations), there are two types of identifiers that can be used with OpenID: URLs and XRIs.
XRIs are a new form of Internet identifier designed specifically for cross-domain digital identity. For example, XRIs come in two forms—i-names and i-numbers—that are usually registered simultaneously as synonyms. I-names are reassignable (like domain names), while i-numbers are never reassigned. When an XRI i-name is used as an OpenID identifier, it is immediately resolved to the synonymous i-number (the CanonicalID element of the XRDS document). This i-number is the OpenID identifier stored by the relying party. In this way, both the user and the relying party are protected from the end-user's OpenID identity ever being taken over by another party as can happen with a URL based on a reassignable DNS name.
The OpenID Foundation is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association incorporated in the United States. The OpenID Foundation was formed to help manage copyright, trademarks, marketing efforts and other activities related to the success of the OpenID community.
The OpenID Foundation's board of directors has four community members and eight corporate members:[15]

The OpenID trademark in the United States was assigned to the OpenID Foundation in March 2008.[16] It had been registered by NetMesh Inc. before the OpenID Foundation was operational.[17][18] In Europe, as of August 31, 2007, the OpenID trademark is registered to the OpenID Europe Foundation.[19]
The OpenID logo was designed by Randy "ydnar" Reddig, who in 2005 had expressed plans to transfer the rights to an OpenID organization.[20]
Since the original announcement of OpenID, the official site has stated:
Nobody should own this. Nobody's planning on making any money from this. The goal is to release every part of this under the most liberal licenses possible, so there's no money or licensing or registering required to play. It benefits the community as a whole if something like this exists, and we're all a part of the community.
Sun Microsystems, VeriSign and a number of smaller companies involved in OpenID have issued patent non-assertion covenants covering OpenID 1.1 specifications. The covenants state that the companies will not assert any of their patents against OpenID implementations and will revoke their promises from anyone who threatens, or asserts, patents against OpenID implementors.[22][23]
In March, 2012, a research paper [24] reported two generic security issues in OpenID. Both issues allow an attacker to sign into a victim's relying party accounts. For the first issue, OpenID and Google (an Identity Provider of OpenID) both published security advisories to address it.[25][26] Google's advisory says "An attacker could forge an OpenID request that doesn't ask for the user's email address, and then insert an unsigned email address into the IDPs response. If the attacker relays this response to a website that doesn't notice that this attribute is unsigned, the website may be tricked into logging the attacker in to any local account.". The research paper claims that many popular websites have been confirmed vulnerable, including Yahoo! Mail, smartsheet.com, zoho.com, manymoon.com, diigo.com. The researchers have notified the affected parties, who have then fixed their vulnerable code.
For the second issue, the paper called it "Data Type Confusion Logic Flaw", which also allows attacker to sign into victim's RP accounts. Google and PayPal were initially confirmed vulnerable. OpenID published a vulnerability report[27] on the flaw. The report says Google and PayPal have applied fixes, and suggest other OpenID vendors to check their implementations.
Some observers have suggested that OpenID has security weaknesses and may prove vulnerable to phishing attacks.[28][29][30] For example, a malicious relaying party may forward the end-user to a bogus identity provider authentication page asking that end-user to input their credentials. On completion of this, the malicious party (who in this case also controls the bogus authentication page) could then have access to the end-user's account with the identity provider, and then use that end-user's OpenID to log into other services.
In an attempt to combat possible phishing attacks some OpenID providers mandate that the end-user needs to be authenticated with them prior to an attempt to authenticate with the relying party.[31] This relies on the end-user knowing the policy of the identity provider. In December 2008, the OpenID Foundation approved version 1.0 of the Provider Authentication Policy Extension (PAPE), which "enables Relying Parties to request that OpenID Providers employ specified authentication policies when authenticating users and for OpenID Providers to inform the Relying Parties which policies were actually used."[32]
Other security issues identified with OpenID involve lack of privacy and failure to address the trust problem.[33] However, this problem is not unique to OpenID and is simply the state of the Internet as commonly used.
Another important vulnerability is present in the last step in the authentication scheme when TLS / SSL are not used: the redirect-URL from the Identity Provider to the Relying Party. The problem with this redirect is the fact that anyone who can obtain this URL (e.g. by sniffing the wire) can replay it and get logged into the site as the victim user. Some of the Identity Providers use nonces (number used once) to allow a user to log into the site once and fail all the consecutive attempts. The nonce solution works if the user is the first one to use the URL. However a fast attacker who is sniffing the wire can obtain the URL and immediately reset a user's TCP connection (as an attacker is sniffing the wire and knows the required TCP sequence numbers) and then execute the replay attack as described above. Thus nonces only protect against passive attackers but cannot prevent active attackers from executing the replay attack.[34] Use of TLS/SSL in the authentication process eliminates this risk.
This can be restated as:
IF (Both RP1 and RP2 have Bob as a client) // A not-uncommon case AND (Bob uses the same IDP with both RP1 and RP2) // A common case AND (RP1 does not use VPN/SSL/TLS to secure their connection with the client) // Preventable! THEN RP2 could obtain credentials sufficient to impersonate Bob with RP1 END-IF
On May 01, 2014, a bug dubbed Covert Redirect related to OAuth 2.0 and OpenID was disclosed.[35][36] It is discovered by a mathematics doctoral student Wang Jing at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.[37][38][39]
The announcement of OpenID is: "'Covert Redirect', publicized in May, 2014, is an instance of attackers using open redirectors – a well-known threat, with well-known means of prevention. The OpenID Connect protocol mandates strict measures that preclude open redirectors to prevent this vulnerability."[40]
"The general consensus, so far, is that Covert Redirect is not as bad, but still a threat. Understanding what makes it dangerous requires a basic understanding of Open Redirect, and how it can be exploited."[41]
However, do not expect any patch. Ori Eisen, founder, chairman and chief innovation office at 41st Parameter told Sue Marquette Poremba, "In any distributed system, we are counting of the good nature of the participants to do the right thing. In cases like OAuth and OpenID, the distribution is so vast that it is unreasonable to expect each and every website to patch up in the near future".[42]
The original OpenID authentication protocol was developed in May 2005[43] by Brad Fitzpatrick, creator of popular community website LiveJournal, while working at Six Apart.[44] Initially referred to as Yadis (an acronym for "Yet another distributed identity system"),[45] it was named OpenID after the openid.net domain name was given to Six Apart to use for the project.[46] OpenID support was soon implemented on LiveJournal and fellow LiveJournal engine community DeadJournal for blog post comments and quickly gained attention in the digital identity community.[47][48] Web developer JanRain was an early supporter of OpenID, providing OpenID software libraries and expanding its business around OpenID-based services.
In late June, discussions started between OpenID users and developers from enterprise software company NetMesh, leading to collaboration on interoperability between OpenID and NetMesh's similar Light-Weight Identity (LID) protocol. The direct result of the collaboration was the Yadis discovery protocol, adopting the name originally used for OpenID. The new Yadis was announced on October 24, 2005.[49] After a discussion at the 2005 Internet Identity Workshop a few days later, XRI/i-names developers joined the Yadis project,[50] contributing their Extensible Resource Descriptor Sequence (XRDS) format for utilization in the protocol.[51]
In December, developers at Sxip Identity began discussions with the OpenID/Yadis community[52] after announcing a shift in the development of version 2.0 of its Simple Extensible Identity Protocol (SXIP) to URL-based identities like LID and OpenID.[53] In March 2006, JanRain developed a Simple Registration (SREG) extension for OpenID enabling primitive profile-exchange[54] and in April submitted a proposal to formalize extensions to OpenID. The same month, work had also begun on incorporating full XRI support into OpenID.[55] Around early May, key OpenID developer David Recordon left Six Apart, joining VeriSign to focus more on digital identity and guidance for the OpenID spec.[48][56] By early June, the major differences between the SXIP 2.0 and OpenID projects were resolved with the agreement to support multiple personas in OpenID by submission of an identity provider URL rather than a full identity URL. With this, as well as the addition of extensions and XRI support underway, OpenID was evolving into a full-fledged digital identity framework, with Recordon proclaiming "We see OpenID as being an umbrella for the framework that encompasses the layers for identifiers, discovery, authentication and a messaging services layer that sits atop and this entire thing has sort of been dubbed 'OpenID 2.0'.[57] " In late July, Sxip began to merge its Digital Identity Exchange (DIX) protocol into OpenID, submitting initial drafts of the OpenID Attribute Exchange (AX) extension in August. Late in 2006, a ZDNet opinion piece made the case for OpenID to users, web site operators and entrepreneurs.[58]
On January 31, 2007, Symantec announced support for OpenID in its Identity Initiative products and services.[59] A week later, on February 6 Microsoft made a joint announcement with JanRain, Sxip, and VeriSign to collaborate on interoperability between OpenID and Microsoft's Windows CardSpace digital identity platform, with particular focus on developing a phishing-resistant authentication solution for OpenID. As part of the collaboration, Microsoft pledged to support OpenID in its future identity server products and JanRain, Sxip, and VeriSign pledged to add support for Microsoft's Information Card profile to their future identity solutions.[60] In mid-February, AOL announced that an experimental OpenID provider service was functional for all AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts.[61]
In May, Sun Microsystems began working with the OpenID community, announcing an OpenID program,[62] as well as entering a non-assertion covenant with the OpenID community, pledging not to assert any of its patents against implementations of OpenID.[22] In June, OpenID leadership formed the OpenID Foundation, an Oregon-based public benefit corporation for managing the OpenID brand and property.[63] The same month, an independent OpenID Europe Foundation was formed in Belgium[64] by Snorri Giorgetti. By early December, non-assertion agreements were collected by the major contributors to the protocol and the final OpenID Authentication 2.0 and OpenID Attribute Exchange 1.0 specifications were ratified on December 5.[65]
In mid-January 2008, Yahoo! announced initial OpenID 2.0 support, both as a provider and as a relying party, releasing the provider service by the end of the month.[66] In early February, Google, IBM, Microsoft, VeriSign and Yahoo! joined the OpenID Foundation as corporate board members.[67] Around early May, SourceForge, Inc. introduced OpenID provider and relying party support to leading open source software development website SourceForge.net.[68] In late July, popular social network service MySpace announced support for OpenID as a provider.[69] In late October, Google launched support as an OpenID provider and Microsoft announced that Windows Live ID would support OpenID.[70] In November, JanRain announced a free hosted service, RPX Basic, that allows websites to begin accepting OpenIDs for registration and login without having to install, integrate and configure the OpenID open source libraries.[71]
In January 2009, PayPal joined the OpenID Foundation as a corporate member, followed shortly by Facebook in February. The OpenID Foundation formed an executive committee and appointed Don Thibeau as executive director. In March, MySpace launched their previously announced OpenID provider service, enabling all MySpace users to use their MySpace URL as an OpenID. In May, Facebook launched their relying party functionality,[72][73] letting users use an automatic login-enabled OpenID account (e.g. Google) to log into Facebook.[74]
In September 2013, Janrain announced that MyOpenID.com would be shut down on February 1, 2014; a pie chart showed Facebook and google dominate the social login space as of Q2 2013.[75] Facebook has since left OpenID; it is no longer a sponsor, represented on the board, or permitting OpenID logins.[15][76]
OpenID and OAuth are both authentication methods, but while OpenID is a way to use a single set of user credentials to access multiple sites, OAuth is more a way to allow one site to access and use information related to the user's account on another site. The following drawing highlights the differences between using OpenID vs. OAuth for authentication. Note that with OpenID, the process starts with the application asking the user for their identity (typically an OpenID URI), whereas in the case of OAuth, the application directly requests a limited access OAuth Token (valet key) to access the APIs (enter the house) on user's behalf. If the user can grant that access, the application can retrieve the unique identifier for establishing the profile (identity) using the APIs.
Published in February 2014 by the OpenID Foundation, the third generation of OpenID technology, OpenID Connect, is an authentication layer that sits on top of the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework.[77] OpenID Connect delivers a more API-friendly way of performing many of the same tasks as OpenID 2.0. OpenID Connect was also designed to be more usable by native and mobile applications. Optional mechanisms for robust signing and encryption are also defined by OpenID Connect. Unlike OpenID 2.0, OpenID Connect integrates OAuth 2.0 capabilities with the protocol itself, and does not need an extension.[78]
