Hi, In the Verifiable Claims teleconf of the 5 Feb [1] I mentioned that one could use LDP as a way to publish browser generated keys. In the mean time I tried to work out a number of ways of doing this, including a sketch of an outline for a DHT type protocol. I put these together in a wiki page for the SoLiD project here: https://github.com/read-write-web/SoLiD/wiki/Storing-an-Apps-Public-Key This only looks at a very simple credential, namely that of being in possession of the private key of a given public one. But its one that I can use allready without needing to wait for full credentials deployment, and from which one can learn. I think this shows that LDP and distributed hash protocols are not exclusive and can be developed in parallel. The advantage of LDP is that it is a protocol that is already standardised, and that works well with a very simple Web Access Control framework that fits that one very well. Constructive feedback welcome. Henry [1] https://github.com/read-write-web/SoLiD/wiki/Storing-an-Apps-Public-Key
