#webid — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #webid, aggregated by home.social.

  1. This is what user-controlled identity, preferences, and profile information look like—entirely built on existing open standards to address the longstanding challenge of online identity authenticity.

  2. #Screencast demonstrating the power of hyperlinks as tools for self-sovereign identity, featuring usage of the RelAuthMe authentication protocol in our #VirtuosoRDBMS atop #OAuth Identity Provider (IdP) services provided by #Mastodon and #GitHub.

  3. Here's the @oplyouid generated Link In Bio profile document used in my #RelAuthMe demonstration.

    That's a single profile doc, and associated #Identity, that's under my control and usable for authentication using #OAuth.

  4. New blog post about the newly released @youid 1.6.9 that now includes simplified Link In Bio Profile Doc generation without any cross-reference limits. Naturally, these docs embed a powerful Verifiable Credentials #KnowledgeGraph.

    Another step towards pseudonymous #Identity #Authenticity that scales to both the #Internet and #Web.

  5. @openlink @youid Wonderful!

    What is this about?

    User-controlled self-sovereign #identity (#SSI) that scales to both the #Internet & #Web.

    @youid generates:

    [1] Public & Private Credentials that can be reconciled as part of an extended #TLS handshake

    [2] An #HTML-based profile doc comprising verifiable credentials -- what's also referred to as a Link In Bio doc

    More to come..

  6. @aniltj,

    #LinkedData is essential to user-controlled #Identity #Authenticity and #Privacy.

    I can demonstrate that with ease, and debate (with live examples) any #BigTech vendor rep that would like to covertly claim otherwise.

    #DPKI is real, and it works for users seeking full control over their identity and privacy. It doesn't work for vendors seeking to exploit users covertly via the "bit of privacy" approach!

  7. @rmrfslashbin,

    Somewhat in that public and private credentials are cross-referenced.

    In the case of #NetIDTLS (what I write about), an #X509 certificate holds private credentials cross-referenced to public equivalents by looking-up a #Hyperlink that serves as a certificate subject identifier.

    Basically, it's all based on existing open standards 😀

  8. @youid @Mastodon Regarding verification of claims in my profile doc, here's how that objective is achieved via #HTTPS using a custom handshake.

    Custom Handshake?
    Credentials in my public profile doc are looked-up and matched to equivalents in my locally held #X509 cert, following completion of the conventional handshake.

  9. @ben ,
    It isn’t more complicated if there’s a user-friendly solution delivered as an app or browser extension for:

    1. Generating Certificate

    2. Extracting #PublicKey hash in copy & paste friendly form

    3. Packaging credentials in a #PKCS12 file (understood by all modern operating systems)

    That’s exactly what our #YouID browser extension offers 😀

  10. @acjay,

    Yes, the #Fediverse and #Web at large.

    #Identity #Authenticity can be handled using existing open standards; it just needs new thinking on the parts of both end-users and solution providers.

    If you lookup any of the following tags you will see related posts on this important self-sovereign (#SSI) matter: #YouID, #NetID, or #WebID, or #DPKI.

  11. @fshr,

    In my profile page you will notice how I have an #SSI (self-sovereign identity) tag associated with an #SHA hash of a public key. That entry enables my @Mastodon page function as a verifiable credentials source used for #identity #authenticity via a mutual #TLS handshake.

    I can explain further if need be re how this is just a different way ( based on existing open standards) of the #keybase protocol.
