Web Keys and Identity

Hi all,

As some of you have seen, we're in the process of writing a set of
articles for the Mozilla Hacks blog on Web Payments and PaySwarm. The
first part in the series was on Identity, specifically the Web Keys spec:

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/04/web-payments-with-payswarm-identity-part-1-of-3/

There is a video demonstrating how to use the PaySwarm Web Keys
registration example here (unfortunately, you may need to crank your
audio all the way up to hear it):

There is also a video demonstrating what a Web Keys registration looks
like via WordPress here (again, crank your audio all the way up):

The demo is based on the payswarm.js tool that's available as open
source here:

https://github.com/digitalbazaar/payswarm.js

Specifically, the Web Keys example is here:
https://github.com/digitalbazaar/payswarm.js/blob/master/examples/register-new-key.js

We're currently trying to get together with the Mozilla Persona team to
figure out a way to get Web Keys and Persona integrated enough to where
you can login to a website using Persona and then make a purchase using
PaySwarm.

If anyone on the mailing list has any questions about the demo, the
code, or future plans, I'd be happy to answer them on this mailing list. :)
