Open Source alternative to Windows Identity Foundation

I was wondering what alternatives exists for seting up a federated token based security service.

And also how does it compare with a regular OpenId server.

Any literature on the subject would be more than welcome (I'm just getting into the subject)

WIF deals mostly with SAML tokens and WS-Federation (websites) based identity federation. For other alternatives (OAuth, OpenId) there are various frameworks. One of them is DotNetOpenAuth.

If your solution will be SAML based, I wouldn't bother too much with anything but WIF, unless you have a good reason (e.g. you are not running on Windows).
