1. 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.
