Draft OpenID v.Next Discovery working group charter

[SitG Admin]

>I was under the impression that Tor only masked source IP address:

It does so by nesting multiple layers of encryption, unique to each 
node it passes through; the .onion addresses of Tor's hidden services 
are hashes of their server's public keys, so the DNS *does* tie in 
with PKI in its own way. (Instead of using "root" CA's, though, a 
small number of nodes are hardcoded into the Tor client, for it to 
bootstrap with.)

I have seen a PHP wrapper for Tor, but it requires the service to 
already be running on a server. I would prefer a "native" 
implementation that talks to the Tor network just long enough to, for 
example, allow a user running their hidden (privacy of location!) 
service IDP through Tor to log in with OpenID (essentially a 
key-based DNS alternative).
