U2F Demo

WebPayments put their trust in Persona which have died, while WebID-TLS builds
on transport-based authentication which have almost no user-base.

Outside of W3C, Google, PayPal, NXP, ARM, RSA, Microsoft, VISA have put more
engineering resources into U2F than the HTTPS Client Certificate Authentication
browser-client got during its entire 19Y life-time, not to mention marketing.

A "funny" thing is that the current U2F specification squarely matches the needs
of WebPayments and WebID due to U2F's SOP-based trust model.

OTOH, there are folks who claim that if you add a some JSON_LD, RDF, and Turtle
to the pudding everything will work flawlessly.  I'm waiting with excitement for a
more detailed description how this will work in a Secure, Interoperable and
User-friendly fashion.
