<bblfish> for those who want to check out this overview "What are the main advantages and disadvantages of webid compared to browserid?" http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/5406/what-are-the-main-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-webid-compared-to-browserid/5424

<jeffsayre> clear

bblfish: browserid started by mozilla

pure javascript, no tls

browser plugin required

<bblfish> Question: does browser id to work in a distributed fashion need browser plugin or changes?

<bblfish> Need a javascript expert

running demo available

cert from email provider

cert in json

<bblfish> Question: where do they put the certificate currently

<bblfish> Question: if the javascript provided the Relying Party can create a web page that present the user with a set of ids (e-mail to chose from) then how is it possible that those cannot get sent back to the RP?

<domel> mailto: scheme (defined in RFC 2368) allows to include WebID to mail URI i.e. mailto:domel@example.com?uid=http://example.org/profile#me (this param should be encoded)

<bblfish> cool domel

browserid check the public key of the signer, webid uses self signed certs

but webid id is flexible

<jeffsayre> +1

<jeffsayre> +1 on the understanding, that it!

<jeffsayre> +q

<bblfish> http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/5406/what-are-the-main-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-webid-compared-to-browserid/5424

<bblfish> or Manu from Digital Bazaar

browserid javascript technology may be interesting for webid

<bblfish> Issuser Altnateive Names
