!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is an open standard from the [OpenID Foundation] that allows users to be authenticated by certain co-operating sites (known as [Relying Parties|Relying Party] or [RP]) using a third party service, eliminating the need for web-masters to provide their own ad hoc systems and allowing users to consolidate their digital identities.
Users may create accounts with their preferred [OpenID] identity providers, and then use those accounts as the basis for signing on to any website which accepts OpenID authentication.
The [OpenID] standard provides a framework for the communication that must take place between the identity provider ([IDP]) and the [OpenID] acceptor [Relying Party].
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 (IDP)] to the relying party (each relying party may request a different set of attributes, depending on its requirements).
The [OpenID] [protocol] does not rely on a central authority to authenticate a user's [Digital 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 [URI], and are managed by some 'OpenID provider' that handles [authentication].
!! [OpenID Connect]
[OpenID Connect] is a newer version of [OpenID] and was finalized and published in February [2014|Year 2014]
