What is WebID? Single Sign-on authentication No Passwords (uses digital certificates) Central Identity Being developed by the W3C WebID Community Group 67 Members, Henry Story Chair Originally, it went under the name foaf+ssl The term "WebID" was coined by Dan Brickley and Tim Berners-Lee in 2000 Hopefully, WebID will be in the standards track this year (fingers crossed)

Key A I cant decrypt what I encrypt, but I can decrypt anything Key B encrypts Key B I cant decrypt what I encrypt, but I can decrypt anything Key A encrypts Pick A/B or B/A One becomes Public key The other the Private key Once selection is made, never change it! How this mathematical relationship works is the subject of another talk How does WebID work in a Nutshell? Public Key Encryption A behind the scenes look

How does WebID work in a Nutshell? The Process Auth Server Jon Client Jon Clients WebID profile server Hey, I want to log on Give me your WebID certificate Prove to me you have the private key to this public key Give me the WebID profile for the URI listed in this WebID certificate Here ya go! Compares modulus and exponent of WebID cert to the WebID profile Here ya go! Hi Jon!

Slide 8

WebID and VIVO make for great dance partners WebID4VIVO Allows VIVO to accept WebID for authentication Allows VIVO to be a WebID provider Leverages the fact that VIVO provides RDF foundation for WebID Installs within and along side VIVO itself moves data in and out of VIVO using VIVO DAOs to maintain portability will be available at the low price of free and open-source (BSD same as VIVO :-) WebID and VIVO (WebID4VIVO)
