Too fast, Neal. You're going to make the rest of us look bad. ;)

I'm at the Google I/O developer conference and heard the announcement
of Google Wave today - a new communication/collaboration protocol,
service and open source code base. Very cool, mixing email, im,
sharing rich media, and a platform for blogging, discussion, wiki- like
editing, collaboration on documents, rich apis for games,
collaboration, with extensibility to interface to other stuff like
plain old email, twitter, facebook, bug workflows, etc

It is a federated service with federated identity in there some how -
not clear yet how....

Start digging at

http://www.waveprotocol.org/
http://www.waveprotocol.org/whitepapers/google-wave-architecture

etc.

A major part of this new approach to collaboration is the General
Verifiable Federation protocol that Ben Laurie and Lea Kissner wrote up:

The authentication aspects of this look pretty interesting, though I
haven't made it thru the whole paper yet:

http://www.waveprotocol.org/whitepapers/wave-protocol-verification/Generallyverifiablewaveprotocol.pdf?attredirects=0

In general the federation model is local auth in an unspecified manner
to wave provider services (wsps) which then talk via a new xmpp
protocol, and I recall some sort of signatures on hashes of updates to
documents ("operations").
