Martin Hellman writes "According to an article in Nature magazine, quantum hackers have performed the first 'invisible' attack on two commercial quantum cryptographic systems. By using lasers on the systems — which use quantum states of light to encrypt information for transmission —' they have fully cracked their encryption keys, yet left no trace of the hack.'"

Ah, Jakob Nielsen. Anyone who has ever been involved with serious document design or web usability will know his name. If you've never heard of him, the best way to describe him would probably be this: he's the Richard Stallman of usability. He has a set of very clear ideas about user interface and document design, which more often than not get in the way of beauty. He has performed a usability study, with real users, on the iPad.

In a recent comment John mentioned that the OpenID component doesn’t work with Google Apps OpenIDs. And he was right.

The reason it didn’t work is that Google introduced it’s own OpenID discovery protocol as they faced challenges not addressed by the current version (2.0) of the OpenID standard. And this means such OpenIDs are not recognized by current OpenID libraries. For this reason, Google provides with php-openid-apps-discovery an add-on to the PHP OpenID library.

I integrated this add-on into the OpenID component as an optional feature. You have to enable it with:

public $components = array('Openid' => array('accept_google_apps' => true));

I made it an optional feature because it introduces an additional step to the authentication process: the provided OpenID url is sent to Google to figure out whether it is a Google Apps OpenID. And this makes the authentication process a bit slower. Hence I think you should have a choice whether you want to use this feature.

The new version of the OpenID component doesn’t contain any other new features/bugfixes.

You can download the component from Github.

Enjoy!
