Luckily, we also have a WebID+TLS+Delegation protocol that can help. To answer your question: HTTP URIs that identity entities i.e., WebIDs are in broad use. WebID+TLS which is an authentication protocol isn't in broad use due to UI/UX issues that are quite problematic. WebID+TLS+Delegation isn't broadly implemented (yet) due to general lack of understanding. Anyway, we do have very large customers that have eventually adopted WebID+TLS+Delegation after we demonstrated its ability to surmount UI/UX and Cert. Management challenges that impede WebID+TLS.
