  • Research on Integration of Openid Authentication Within the Gravityzoo
    Research on OpenID and its integration within the GravityZoo framework Jarno van de Moosdijk [email protected] January 2008 1 Research on implementation of OpenID within GravityZoo Abstract This report covers the research on the working of OpenID and its integration into the GravityZoo framework. The GravityZoo frame- work can be used to deliver applications to a wide variety of devices. Currently, it is only possible to log in with a username and password combination. OpenID authentication eliminates the need for separate username/password combinations bound to each service. One identi- fier can be used to log in to multiple OpenID enabled services across different providers. The objective of this document is to give an in depth view on the OpenID login procedure. It covers the usability of the most popular OpenID Providers on mobile devices. None of these providers have custom pages for mobile users, which makes them less usable on mobile devices. Next to this, I have looked in to the require- ments for integrating OpenID authentication within the GravityZoo framework. c 2009 Jarno van de Moosdijk <[email protected]> Some rights reserved: This document is licensed under the Creative Com- mons Attribution 3.0 Netherlands license.

Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Notice of Ex Parte Communication, Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz Band, GN Docket No. 18-122 Dear Ms. Dortch: Trinity Broadcasting Network (“TBN”) and LPN Spectrum LLC (“LPN”) jointly file these ex parte comments in the above-captioned proceeding in support of the Commission’s efforts to repurpose part of the C-band for 5G terrestrial use. The next generation of wireless technology promises to be a significant driver of economic growth and opportunity in a variety of industrial sectors and will change nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Repurposing part of the C-band for wireless broadband services while balancing the need to support incumbent operations is key to capturing the enormous value that 5G will bring to American businesses and consumers alike. This proceeding will help position the United States as the global leader in the race to 5G. With initial aspirations to “serve[] the interests of all stakeholders” in the C-band, Intel and Intelsat began this proceeding on the right track.1 That initial momentum has been slowed by disagreements among stakeholders, causing the proceeding to effectively stall. This is due to a basic failure of the C-Band Alliance (“CBA”) to recognize that other stakeholders have legitimate interests in what is really a “shared use” band and that any viable solution for repurposing part of the C-band must facilitate significant spectrum clearance.

  • A Security Analysis of Openid
    A Security Analysis of OpenID Bart van Delft1 and Martijn Oostdijk2 1 Comp.Sci.Dept., Radboud Univ., P.O.Box 9010, 6500 GL, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, [email protected] 2 Novay, P.O.Box 589, 7500 AN, Enschede, The Netherlands, [email protected] Abstract. OpenID, a standard for Web single sign-on, has been gaining popularity both with Identity Providers, Relying Parties, and users. This paper collects the security issues in OpenID found by others, occasionally extended by the authors, and presents them in a uniform way. It attempts to combine the shattered knowledge into a clear overview. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness about security issues surrounding OpenID and similar standards and help shape opinions on what (not) to expect from OpenID when deployed in a not-so-friendly context. 1 Introduction In 2005 Brad Fitzpatrick developed the first version of the OpenID protocol. Initially intended to save users the effort of going through a registration process on multiple social (blogging) websites they wanted to join, the protocol has by now become a very popular single sign-on method on a large number of high profile websites (JanRain claims over 30,000 OpenID enabled websites in January 2009 [5]). In fact, given an average user on the Internet, chances are high that he or she already owns a so-called `OpenID enabled login', since Google, Yahoo, Facebook, AOL and Windows Live accounts all support OpenID. The latest version of the OpenID Authentication specification, version 2.0 [20], was released in December 20073. The new version mainly enabled more flexibility and support for the possible identities to use, improved some security aspects and enabled the usage of extensions for attribute exchange.

Most of the web services require users to create an account in order to use their ser- vices. Studies show that an average internet user has at least 25 different web accounts. This means the user has 25 different set of username and password combinations to remember in order to access those accounts. This could lead to the problems like forgetting username or password or both and password mismatch. External authentication service, EAS, solve this problem at certain extent by letting users to use their existing set of username and password for more than one web accounts. This thesis work has aimed to integrate EAS in the case company, Viope Solutions Oy’s web platform. There are different types of EAS providers available from social networking sites to payment solution services. It was essential to choose the most suitable EAS provider with which Viope’s potential users already have account and they feel comfortable using it. Differ- ent existing researches and survey reports were analyzed and Facebook was chosen as the most suitable EAS provider.
