What is the role of the OpenID Foundation and the Information Card Foundation in the administrations Open Government initiative?
A. OpenID and Information Cards are open identity technologies – open standards for digital identity that make it easier and safer for user to register, login, and when necessary, share personally identifiable information across different websites and services. To bring open identity technologies and open government together, the OpenID Foundation (OIDF) and the Information Card Foundation (ICF) are working with the GSA to create an open trust framework for open identity technologies. For details please see our joint white paper, Open Trust Frameworks for Open Government.
