Tantek, Do you have suggestions for hCard fields that hold the following: 1. URL to an x.509 resource -- this would be the address of a blob that holds data from the hCard 2. x.509 certificate fingerprint -- this could be SHA1 or MD5 (note this is a splice of the x.509 cert above) 3. Public Key components -- in the form of Modulus and Exponent of the x.509 cert above. Net effect, the hCard becomes a resource for holding mirrored claims that can be used to make an identifier associated with a subject verifiable. With that in place, Micformats will provide yet another option for HTML as mechanism holding mirrors of claims from an x.509 cert. In addition, the subject is empowered with the ability the place said document at an Address of their choosing on the Web. No need for HTTP server control or access etc.. Solve this, and we have solved a major InterWeb headache re. verifiable identity via exploitation of existing infrastructure. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder& CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
