3 -This is a playground for [[FOAF+SSL>>http://esw.w3.org/topic/foaf+ssl]] integration in XWiki. With foaf+ssl, you no longer need to type a username or remember a password. Public Key Cryptography takes care of that. As Dan Kaminsky pointed out in a few of his speeches, the major security problem on the web are passwords. 60% of security breaches can be attributed to this technology. Why is it still here?

See [[the recent thread on the foaf-protocols list>>http://foaf.markmail.org/thread/6mavqww3d6oii4dt#query:+page:1+mid:5t57suylbzvk44ub+state:results]].
