Major Milestone: WebID over WebSockets

Our CTO, Dave Longley, has been busy over the past week attempting to
get our pure JavaScript crypto/TLS library updated to remove the Flash
requirement from our WebID demos. He was successful.

Using a WebSockets-enabled browser, such as Google Chrome - go here and
create an account (accept the invalid, demo-only SSL certificate for now):

https://webid.digitalbazaar.com/manage/

Then go here:

https://payswarm.com/webid-demo/

Select "Digital Bazaar WebID" as the provider and then "Select
(WebSocket)". You will be logged in and the login works faster than the
Flash-based version of our WebID implementation.

Just to be clear - this is a complete, open-source implementation of
x509, TLS, and WebID using pure JavaScript and standards-based browser
technologies.

You can view the source for Forge (the JavaScript x509/TLS/WebSockets
library) here:
