Introduction To implement a Signature based single signON authentication 2. Background A signature based authentication is more natural than a User name password authentication, as one WWW user could have multiple User names and passwords in multiple services. I Switch on my laptop, computer or tablet and i sign in. The signature can be my favourite poem. And i should be able to change my Signature. When i create user accounts in services, i can associate this signature to the User accounts. New services can eliminate the need for User names as appropriate. A Signature database can have information about the owner of the signature and services that user can access. 3. General Information of the service A signature can also be send on the network and available in weblogs. A User Viewing my website automatically signs on my weblogs and using that Public Signature, i can know many details about who has viewed my site. But only the owner of the Signature can be able to access his or her services. There are many solutions to this.But a USer signing in to a WWW computer with his SIgnature like "I really want to eat Vegan food but forced to eat South Indian food because of Cyber crime" does not need to know about the implementation details nor me as a WWW user defining requirements need to know about how it is implemented.
