That of course works too using Http-Signature which I have implemented on the client
and server here:
https://github.com/solid/solid-spec/issues/52

Web Crypto has problems with not being tied into chrome though, and a few
other limitations.  It would probably be worth enhancing WebID-TLS definition 
so that it can work  seamlessly with both.

My rww-play server actually does that.
