Licensed under an open source Apache 2.0 license, Sxip has released the OpenID4Java and OpenID4Perl libraries. The libraries are easy-to-use and well-documented, allowing you to add full support for OpenID 1.x, 2.0 and Attribute Exchange into your Java and Perl based applications. We invite you to try them out and would appreciate your feedback! We also welcome and encourage community participation around the ongoing development of these libraries.

OpenID is an emerging Identity 2.0 authentication mechanism that enables users to maintain one login and password account for access to many sites. Package downloads for the latest version of the Java and Perl libraries for OpenID can be found on the distribution project page at code.sxip.com. In the coming weeks, we'll update the library based on the progress of the OpenID Authentication 2.0 specification and we're looking forward to working with others on the project!
