OpenID specifications#

OpenID Foundation specifications are developed by OpenID Working Groups and go through three phases:
  • Drafts - These are similar to Internet Drafts and may or may not advance to the next phase.
  • Implementer’s Drafts - Typically these are used for interop testing among prototype implementations
  • Final Specifications - Are Standards
Implementer’s Drafts and Final Specifications provide Intellectual Property protections to implementers. Final Specifications are OpenID Foundation standards.

There are also:

  • Inactive Drafts
  • Obsolete Specifications
