[VOIPSEC] Thoughts about OpenID as a means for SIP identification?

[dan_york at Mitel.com]

By the way, Dean Elwood over at VoIPUser.org took up this matter on his 
forums at: 

  http://www.voipuser.org/forum_topic_8760.html 

He doesn't see the need for OpenID but rather suggests that what is needed 
is: 

> I think we do have identification problems, but what we need to resolve 
those is 
> authentication on a server to server level within a multi-lateral peered 
"supernet" 
> environment. That's the SIP environment of the future - authentication 
will need 
> to be achieved inter-domain. 

He goes on to suggest that OSP (Open Settlement Protocol) might be the way 
to do exactly that.
