48 | <p> | ||
49 | reclaimID is a decentralized identity system build on top of the GNU | ||
50 | Name System. | ||
51 | Currently, we piggyback a small authorization ticket in an OpenID authorization | ||
52 | code. | ||
53 | This ticket is used by a relying party (e.g. website) to retrieve a decryption | ||
54 | key and user attributes. | ||
55 | However, the lookups can timeout and fail in GNS due to adverse network conditions or | ||
56 | empty caches. | ||
57 | In 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> | ||
