DNS-based discovery for OpenID Connect
FOSDEM 2018

OpenID Connect is a widely deployed standard to implement single-sign-on in the web. While the existing protocol discovery mechanisms might be well-suited for the current social media login deployment status (that is, a handful of islands of identity providers and Facebook&Google coping with 90%+ of the market share), a better mechanism would be needed for a real federated, distributed environment.

This lightning talk tries to present the ideas outlined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sanz-openid-dns-discovery-00 together with a working demo, looking for feedback from the DNS developer community.
