T-OpenID Research Project

T-OpenID is an identity management solution consisting of an OpenID server based on Turbogears Python web framework and a Firefox browser add-on. The server extends standard OpenID functionality through secure communication between the server and the browser plug-in without resorting to SSL. It is primarily intended as a research testbed and in the future as a privacy-preserving solution for individuals and small businesses.

Since this is part of a research project, the focus -until now- has been on a basic implementation of the server-client communication and laying the foundation for future secure digital identity management services.

We welcome researchers and coders for scientific collaboration in "open source" and "open research" spirit!

Open Source Project

The open source project is hosted here at Sourceforge.
