Some links and brief discussion about something called WebID. It's based on client certificates, writes Ben Laurie, a concept that has been appealing but rendered useless by browser user interfaces. But WebID gets around this by being coded entirely in Javascript. "I would hope that it would migrate to be part of the browser, it seems pretty clear that doing this on the webpage is not likely to lead to a secure solution in the long run." OK, it's a very early implementation, but it's out of things like this that we get actual innovation.
