How does authentication work in SharePoint online?

Across all of SharePoint Online, the root Federation Authentication (rtFA) cookie is used. The rtFA cookie is used to authenticate a user silently without a prompt when he/she visits a new top-level site or another company's page. When a user signs out of SharePoint Online, the rtFA cookie is deleted.

Sharepoint has an extensible authentication provider model, so you could use that to extend it to support openid.

See the OpenID membership provider project on CodePlex. This provides OpenID support for SharePoint.
