While MS Passport usage and actual traction seems to be fading away, Liberty Alliance just announced 7 new members
The Liberty Alliance, a group of tech firms working to create universal ID standards on the Internet, has signed up seven new members: Adobe Systems, DAI-Labor, Deny All, M-Tech Information Technology, OpenNetwork Technologies, Senforce Technologies, and Telewest Broadband all joined the alliance. The Liberty Alliance is best known for creating a single sign-on system that competes with Microsoft's Passport authentication...
As the usage of on-demand services increases, the single sign-on capabilities will become crutial form enterprise wanted to leverage web services. I will be interesting to watch how this space will unfold, and how innovators like PingID deliver on they promises (a good paper on PinID views on the various topologies of identity federation can be found here)
I found nice resources in your post for my coursework.
