The General Services Administration has approved universal sign-in applications for use on government Web sites, provided by Equifax, Google and Paypal, that will allow citizens who are securely logged in to one site to instantly and safely switch to another agency site without having to log in again.
The so-called Open Identity Exchange applications are expected to expedite access to government services by giving users a single ID credential that all privacy-protected federal sites will accept.

On December 4, 2009, U.S. Army Public Affiars launched My.Army.mil (see http://www.Army.mil/myarmy), which allows one to use various external site single sign on credentials (Open ID, Google, Yahoo, Twitter, etc) to log on and customize the U.S. Army homepage (http://www.Army.mil) to one's liking.

With what assurance level?
More importantly, with what liability transfer?
