XMPPWebID

Currently, it's composed by:

• python-xmppwebid: utilities to create and validate XMPPWebID-enabled certificates
• django-xmppwebid-provider: a Django webapp that creates an XMPP account and generates a certificate that can be installed in a XMPP client or browser

To use your certificate in XMPP (Jabber) you would need:

• a client that supports user certificates (currently Gajim v0.14)
• and a Jabber server software that supports SASL EXTERNAL authentication (Jabberd)

Coming soon...

• django-webid-auth: a Django middleware to provide WebID autentication
• django-webid-profile: a Django webapp to generate a WebID profile and URI

Technologies

• XMPP protocol
• WebID for authentication
• FOAF ontology for the user WebID profile
• Certificate and RSA vocabularies to associate the user certificate public key to the WebID
• X509 certificates
• XMPP In-Band-Registration extension for account registration
• TLS protocol for secure communications
• XMPP SASL EXTERNAL authentication mechanism
• SPARQL to extract WebID URI, public keys and Jabber account

Publications

• WebID-enabled XMPP: a bridge to the social web on your IM and beyond, slides (Paper at FSW2011)
