President Obama's open government memorandum last year spurred the creation of a pilot initiative in September to enable U.S. citizens to more easily sign in to government-run websites... The Open Identity Exchange (OIX), a new organization and certification body focused on online identity management, today named Google among the first identity providers to be approved by the U.S. Government as meeting federal standards for identity assurance. This means that Google's identity, security, and privacy specifications have been certified so that a user can register and log in at U.S. government websites using their Google account login credentials. The National Institute of Health (NIH) is the first government website ready to accept such credentials.
Looking forward to seeing this in action... in Canada.
