47<h4>re:claimID OpenID Connect performance improvements</h4>
48<p>
49reclaimID is a decentralized identity system build on top of the GNU
50Name System.
51Currently, we piggyback a small authorization ticket in an OpenID authorization
52code.
53This ticket is used by a relying party (e.g. website) to retrieve a decryption
54key and user attributes.
55However, the lookups can timeout and fail in GNS due to adverse network conditions or
56empty caches.
57In order to mitigate this issue, this project is meant to investigate and implement how...
58<ol>
59<li> ... decryption keys can be added to an initial exchange in OpenID.</li>
60<li> ... initial set(s) of attributes can be piggybacked in OpenID.</li>
61</ol>

62<li> A webextension which allows reclaimID to be used without the need of a GNS proxy.

64The two smaller tasks are optional and may be dropped in case the student
65encounters any unforseen complications when implementing the main task.
