A Working Groups Wiki Page

[Breno de Medeiros]

Hi Nat,

I see that as part of your scope you are discussing an OpenID D-Sign
deliverable. Is this really necessary?

For instance, the XRD 1.0 spec (which at this point is planned for
incorporation into the OpenID spec by reference) will introduce a
signature scheme for trust purposes. That will mean that a  a D-Sig
algorithm will be part of the core spec.

There is also some speculation that OpenID will support OAuth style
signatures  (which include a public-key variant) for harmonization. If
that happens there would be _two_ public-key signature schemes as part
of the core spec.

I understand the public-key signatures is a core requirement for a
trust specification.  But I doubt there is a reason to re-invent such
a scheme. Signature schemes are supposed to be somewhat generic, not
purpose-specific. We should try to specify only a few of them, and
probably the place to do that is the core OpenID spec.
