Re: Solid Wallet

Hi Sarven

Thanks for sharing.  I have also been working on an http auth system using
signatures.  In this case schnorr signatures that are already used in
SolidOS chat.

Still quite early, but may be of interest to you

It is similar to the WebID+TLS system that Henry Worked on, and before
that, FOAF+SSL.

Hopefully I can make more progress on it, and integration with SolidOS.

Best
Melvin
