With support from Google, Microsoft, Ping Identity, ForgeRock, Nomura Research Institute, and PayPal, OpenID Connect launched today.

OpenID Connect performs many of the same tasks as OpenID 2.0, but does so in a way that is API-friendly, and usable by native and mobile applications. OpenID Connect defines optional mechanisms for robust signing and encryption. Whereas integration of OAuth 1.0a and OpenID 2.0 required an extension, in OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 capabilities are integrated with the protocol itself.

    But is it fully Buzzword 2.0 compliant?

    Some of us never upgraded from the buzzword 0.6 alpha. And honestly, I don't like this new buzzword paradigm. It lacks synergy.
