Digital Identity Tools
Online identity theft is the practice of pretending to be someone else on the internet. The purpose can be quite harmless (like chatting with someone under someone else's account), but when referred to in the media, it's often about the criminal activity of stealing someone's personal information for his or her own financial gain. More often than not, it involves phishing for a person's banking information and using that to order goods or transfer money to another bank account.

phpMyID
phpMyID is a single user (though, if you were so inclined, you could easily turn it into a multi-user setup) IdP, or "Identity Provider" for the OpenID framework. It's a single PHP script with minimal dependancies. You don't need a database, you don't need to make your filesystem writable, you don't need to download any libraries, and you don't need to recompile PHP. Okay, well, you shouldn't need to do any of that.
Installing phpMyID requires an MD5 hashing utility. Why? Because you have to authenticate to it using a password. phpMyID uses HTTP Digest authentication for security and your password must be encrypted when you enter it during installation. Say it with me: "passwords should never be stored or transmitted in plain text" (one of the advantages of phpMyID and OpenID is that they never are).
