Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte talked about OpenID on Episode 95.  OpenID would provide a single-sign on verification for site logins.  This would not replace something like SSL (which is mutual authentication), but it would be better for simple site logins to sites like del.icio.us, digg.com and others.
