OpenID and OpenAuth with DotNetOpenAuth open source programmer Andrew Arnott

Summary

This episode of Hansel Minutes discusses OpenID and its evolution to OpenAuth with guest Andrew Arnot. The conversation highlights how OpenID, while good for authentication, lacked the ability to grant permissions to access user information, unlike the more modern OpenAuth which enables scenarios like "Sign in with Twitter" for social sharing. The practical takeaway is the shift towards authorization capabilities alongside authentication for a richer user experience.
