Everybody seems to talking XMLRPC. I seem to see the webservices
starting to come towards integration. With MDS and Dan both promising
XMLRPC support we (or should I say they) may be able to get Macs and
phpGW to talk to each other.

And moreover both of them seem interested too.

This could end-up in a dreadful mess MDS, this may cause a
malicious cracker to set up his own AUS and cross authenticate
into any system. We could cross-auth only with a list of trusted
AUSes. But a better option would be what SSH uses, copy the identity
signature to all trusted machines, for a one logon scheme. Delete it
and the machine becomes untrusted. ie if I have an identity in AUS A
, and copy it to AUS B, B automatically becomes trusted to A and only
for me . So AUTH token from B will be accepted by A after comparing
identity signatures in A & B. Tell me if you like this idea ( I am
great at idea reuse :-). SSH uses an RSA encrypted signature, whose
public key is accesible from the server. (or so I have been led to believe)
The above article may be used to gain further support against e-patents.
If SSH identity service had been patented, we could not use this idea in
US ( ie so in the non-us debian dir, may be in a non-euro dir too ?).
