ORDO: a modern alternative to X.509
- juancampa 9y agoI'm not the author of but I'm curious to hear what the HN community thinks about it
- westurner 9y agoThere are a number of W3C specs for this type of thing. Linked Data Signatures (ld-signatures) relies upon a graph canonicalization algorithm that works with any RDF format (RDF/XML, JSON-LD, Turtle,) > The signature mechanism can be used across a variety of RDF data syntaxes such as JSON-LD, N-Quads, and TURTLE, without the need to regenerate the signature https://w3c-dvcg.github.io/ld-signatures/ https://w3c-dvcg.github.io/ld-signatures/ A defined way to transform ORDO to RDF would be useful for WoT graph applications. WebID can express X509 certs with the cert ontology. {cert:X509Certificate, cert:PGPCertificate,} rdfs:subClassOf cert:Certificate https://www.w3.org/ns/auth/cert https://www.w3.org/ns/auth/cert https://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/ https://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/ ld-signatures is newer than WebID. (Also, we should put certificates in a blockchain; just like Blockcerts (JSON-LD))
