The 69th IETF was last week in Chicago (windy and good pizza, who knew?). The two highlights for me were the HTTP Bis BoF and the BIFF BoF. A BoF is a “Birds of a Feather” meeting used to gauge interest and feasibility towards forming an IETF working group.
A new authentication scheme was announced recently at the Web 2.0 Expo: Vidoop http://www.vidoop.com. Vidoop describes itself as a web single sign-on solution that is resistant to “all prevalent forms of hacking”. Specifically, they claim to resist “phishing, keystroke logging, brute force, and many man-in-the-middle attacks” and to resist automated attacks by “requiring human cognition” […]

I’ve been told in the past that Open Source and Open Standards are practically the same thing, they go so well together. While they’re both good things, unfortunately, they’re not quite as naturally reinforcing as you’d like. There’s cost and style of participation, IPR concerns, and proliferation of standards (“The good thing about standards is, […]
A month ago at the last IETF meeting, I talked to a bunch of email standards experts about the current wave of Internet email standards work. In these conversations I also built a mental picture of the previous waves. Wave 1 was what really made email work over the Internet. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol […]
I’ve been seeing the word “compliance” tossed around a lot for HTTP and other standards lately, with much ambiguity. Let’s say you read RFC2068 and implemented a client very carefully. Does it make your client implementation “uncompliant” if a new standard updates or obsoletes RFC2068 and adds requirements, as RFC2616 did? My answer is “that’s […]
I signed up to do a talk called “Beyond Passwords” at ApacheCon US 2006, which took place in Austin last week. I had originally intended to talk rather blandly about current standards efforts. But in the end I took a much more contrarian approach and examined the promises of Identity 2.0, how policies and implementation […]
I am very pleased to announce that an effort I’ve spent nearly three years on is becoming an IETF Proposed Standard. CalDAV will have its own RFC number shortly, and the approval announcement was just last week.
As my first The Now Economy post, I thought I’d introduce myself and what I do. I just joined CommerceNet as a Fellow a couple weeks ago. Just before that I was working at OSAF as a development manager and standards architect. I’d been doing that job for about two years, and simultaneously chairing the […]
