Hi, just before closing down this mailing list you may be interested in WebID (aka foaf+ssl) which uses PKI based TLS in a decentralised manner without changing anything to the TLS communication, but by shifting the authentication algorithm server side. This allows one to use non CA signed certificates to log in globally. Trust is very flexible in this system, and is built on a web of published relationships in the Linked Data network. There is quite a lot of detailed information here: http://esw.w3.org/Foaf%2Bssl Henry Social Web Architect http://bblfish.net/
