The OpenID Foundation, the organization behind the OpenID open standard and decentralized protocol control identity, published an open letter for Apple about the company 's recently announced "Sign In with Apple" feature.
In the letter, the agency says Apple may have developed the new one service με την πλατφόρμα του OpenID Connect, αλλά η υλοποίηση του project της εταιρείας από το Cupertino δεν είναι πλήρως συμβατή με το πρότυπο OpenID.
Thus: “it exposes users to greater security risks and privacys.”
"Today's set of differences between OpenID Connect and Sign In with Apple exposes users to greater security and privacy risks," said Nat Sakimura, President of the OpenID Foundation.
OpenID Foundation in a letter calls on Apple to develop a platform that is fully compatible with OpenID
The OpenID Foundation has published a list of differences between Sign In with Apple and the OpenID Connect platform, which Sakimura urged Apple to read.
The senior OpenID executive said the differences put unnecessary strain on developers working with both OpenID Connect and Sign in with Apple, who would have to uphold two different certification standards and address their own peculiarities.
OpenID Connect is a modern and widely accepted authentication protocol based on the OAuth 2.0 protocol. Allows users to connect to accounts in third-party services using a standard method.
The OpenID Foundation includes many members such as Google, the Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, PayPal, and Akamai, among many others.
All of these companies support the OpenID standard and build products that follow it faithfully. Apple is not a member, but Sakimura asked the company to join the OpenID Foundation.
However, the company chose not to follow in its footsteps, and as usual developed Sign in with Apple on its own, with the above results.
