IDsec is a mechanism that provides an identity for users on the internet. 
Identity in IDsec means that a user is known by a certain profile which 
contains precisely those attributes that the user wants to reveal to the 
requester of his profile. Access to profile attributes is managed by the user 
himself. Certificates and public/private key mechanisms ensure that information 
is exchanged in a secure way between parties that trust eachother.

A prototype implementation in Java exists at the Telematica Instituut 
http://www.telin.nl); for further information please contact address@hidden
