Mozilla's BrowserID moves forward
Mozilla’s BrowserID project, which aims to provide a simpler, more portable decentralised login and identity management platform, has moved forward with its first deployment within the non-profit organisation. Launched in July 2011, BrowserID is Mozilla’s alternative to the somewhat stalled OpenID initiative.
Over the new year, Mozilla rolled out a non-localised, English-only, version of BrowserID to a number of development sites: Mozilla Apps Developer Preview, Firefox Affiliates, Mozillians, Add-on Builder and Mozilla Developer Network. The sites were selected because they were predominantly English-speaking or only available in English.
