Example IdP Bindings to Specific Protocols + [[TODO: These still need some cleanup.]] + This section provides some examples of how the mechanisms described in this document could be used with existing authentication protocols such as BrowserID or OAuth. Note that this does not require browser- level support for either protocol. Rather, the protocols can be fit into the generic framework. (Though BrowserID in particular works better with some client side support). A.1. BrowserID BrowserID [https://browserid.org/] is a technology which allows a user with a verified email address to generate an assertion (authenticated by their identity provider) attesting to their identity (phrased as an email address). The way that this is used in practice is that the relying party embeds JS in their site which talks to the BrowserID code (either hosted on a trusted intermediary or embedded in the browser). That code generates the assertion which is passed back to the relying party for verification. The assertion can be verified directly or with a Web service provided by the identity provider. It's relatively easy to extend this functionality - to authenticate RTCWEB calls, as shown below. + to authenticate WebRTC calls, as shown below. +----------------------+ +----------------------+ | | | | | Alice's Browser | | Bob's Browser | | | OFFER ------------> | | | Calling JS Code | | Calling JS Code | | ^ | | ^ | | | | | | | | v | | v | | PeerConnection | | PeerConnection | @@ -1705,63 +1797,59 @@ 1.
