I don't feel too optimistic about this effort. This seems like a repetition of WebID-TLS, zero buy-in from the browser-vendors. Without new stuff added to browsers I don't see how you can move the market. Years ago I suggested creating a "Cloud Token": https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/icf-members/Csyd1NWcmog Unfortunately nobody liked the idea. When FIDO/Google did the same thing with U2F, *the entire industry* from Microsoft to ARM flocked around it. This is why browser-vendor buy-in remains the #1 problem. BTW, the fixation with Linked Data is contra-productive, there are a lot of use-cases that do not need or want to put credential data on the web. I.e. credential data should always be possible to supply "in-line" Anders PS My take on the "Cloud Token" is not dead...it is just resting a bit :-) DS
