inames: Your OpenID that Provides Unique Protection from Online Identity Theft
I am pleased to be working with ICANNWiki on facilitating their use of OpenID through 1id's provision of the ICANNWiki community iname for individuals who visit ICANNWiki.org. At the same time you may also acquire your own personal iname.
Why inames as your OpenID?
- We as a culture are moving towards an always connected and on-net world
- Identity theft is becoming more and more prevalent
- A personal OpenID that can work across the web is appealing; no need for multiple user names and passwords
Your personal OpenID needs the following capabilities:
- A Unique Identifier that is able to cross all internet properties
- Simplicity with a single sign on that is also easy to remember
- Privacy with permission based control and filtering for the complete protection of the consumer
- True Authentication to prove that the user is truly the owner of the identifier
- A Permanent ID that is a Lifetime digital identity with the control and flexibility to attach unique attributes at the user's convenience
inames is a simple, secure and permanent personal identifier that works across all networked communications devices, from computers to mobile devices. Users now control their own authenticated identifier that crosses the entire Web and protects them from online identity theft. Because it is based on the safest OpenID protocol standard (XRI-approved), it has the capability to solve the overwhelming Internet single sign-on problem.
- Permanence. Designed as the first universal address to last for a lifetime.
- Privacy. Requires permission from the iname owner for initial contact. inames helps you to protect your privacy and to avoid spam.
- Portability. Sign on with one identifier that works across OpenID enabled websites. No need for multiple user names and passwords.
In a nut shell, inames is your Open ID that is the next step to a more secure, safer web experience. i-names protects your privacy placing you in control of your iname at all times.
