Suggestions:
1. Something that rolls off the tongue easily (ISF does for me, not so 
much ISI)
2. Avoid something that's already used (ISP)
3. Easily-pronounceable acronyms are usually well-received, but I have 
to admit I don't grok APIS's expansion :(

If you drop the SF and go with CSI, you get Client Side Identity, which 
doesn't really add up.

It's too late for me to come up with any alternatives (midnight), so I 
guess this is only 1c worth...
