I had one of those chance airplane conversations recently—the kind that sticks in your mind longer than the flight itself. My seatmate was reading a book about artificial intelligence, and at one point they described the idea of an “infinitely growing AI.” I couldn’t help but giggle a bit.

Most digital systems were built around a simple model: one user, one identity, one device, one intent. If you need more than that, that's what password sharing is for, right? (Note: that was sarcasm.) Who needs delegation? Reality, which has definitely included sharing passwords, has always been messier.

For a long time, logging into a website was (perhaps still is) a bit of a mess. There’s definitely been many efforts to fix it, and though OAuth buttons and SSO integrations tried to clean things up, under the hood, “Sign in with…” is mostly a best-effort dance. You can authenticate a user, maybe even Continue Reading The post Web Payments and Digital Identity are Having a Moment appeared first on Spherical Cow Consulting.| Spherical Cow Consulting
When we talk about introspection in digital identity, we’re not just talking about what happens in OAuth 2.0. Yes, there’s a token introspection spec, but this post is about something broader: the idea that platforms—especially browsers—can inspect and influence the identity data being exchanged. Is that a good thing? Apple and Google disagree on just Continue Reading The post Is Introspection a Bug or a Feature? appeared first on Spherical Cow Consulting.| Spherical Cow Consulting
The open standards development process, whether at the IETF, W3C, or OpenID Foundation, has always been a balancing act. While politics inevitably plays a role (where there are people, there are politics), technology has historically held at least an equal seat at the table. At least, it did.

One of the areas I’m tracking from my usual standards’ perspective is how we set up guardrails for AI—how we contain its risks while still allowing the world to benefit from its utility.

tl;dr: Traditional identity federation has enabled digital identity with centralized, third-party logins, for decades. Its limitations in security and user control, however, are becoming a problem, especially when there are alternatives being developed.

What if fraud prevention was, you know, a shared effort? That’s where the Shared Signals Framework (SSF) comes in!

Academia is facing challenges in managing non-human identities (NHIs), which are essential for modern research systems but often treated like human users.

In the meantime, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) can mitigate risks associated with passwords. Transit...| Spherical Cow Consulting
