@atomicpoet @youid Here's an explainer post I published recently about this most important approach to #Identity #Authenticity that scales across the #Internet, #Web, and #Fediverse.

Situation Analysis According to Key Internet Statistics in 2023 (Including Mobile) - BroadbandSearch, there are 5.25 billion+ people on the internet (and growing) who are increasingly challenged by control over their identity – due to the fact that identity authenticity still challenges both the Internet and Web. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a globally supported protocol, deployed across every modern computing device, that adds identity authenticity and/or privacy to communications bet...
@youid itself is a verifiable credentials generator for the #NetIDTLS protocol.
NetIDTLS (a TLS Client Authentication Protocol Tweak) can offer an additional #Identity #Authenticity protocol sitting alongside “rel=me” — for instance.
#Identity #Authenticity, remains a HUGE problem at the #Internet->#Web->#SocialMedia levels. It's so big that it has trivially imploded #Twitter via the recent Blue Checkmark/Badge disaster.
A #SemanticWeb solves this headache, once understood, by way of #TLS integration using a #Hyperlink -- as demonstrated by protocol extensions such as #NetIDTLS and #WebIDTLS.
Here's a post that includes a NetIDTLS Sequence Flow Diagram to aid understanding.

There are approx. 5.25 billion+ people on the internet (and growing). These numbers also highlight importance of the ubiquitous Transport Layer Security (#TLS) protocol as critical infrastructure for solving #identity authenticity challenges afflicting Internet & Web users.
I shed some simplified light on the workings of this protocol in a new blog post that also doubles as a #ChatGPT, #Mermaid, and #KnowledgeGraph utility showcase.

@youid Here's an end-to-end #screencast demonstration of pseudonymous #Identity #Authenticity facilitated by the verifiable credentials generated by #YouID.
#NetID #NetIDTLS #WebID #WoT #SemanticWeb #LinkedData #Privacy #SSI
How verifiable credentials generated by @youid enable self-sovereign identity (#SSI): a user-controlled approach to #identity, via #HTTPS session initialization using Client Certificate Authentication (CCA).
Watch: https://youtu.be/n6DZeqcqkwM
Adding this as an identity verification option, alongside "rel=me", enhances user #privacy and identity authenticity across the #Fediverse.
@openlink @youid @atomicpoet @judell,
By more.. I mean:
The Link In Bio profile document generation is going to get a lot easier i.e., cross-references to other profile pages will be handled via the @youid credentials capturing form; and this is restricted to an arbitrary number i.e., you can provide more than 4 cross-references if so required.
@openlink @youid @atomicpoet @judell,
Also note, @youid generated profile documents also include powerful #metadata that manifest a Personal Profile #KnowledgeGraph (expressed in a variety of notations).
For instance, Public Keys belong to you (not YouID an app that simply offers a verifiable credentials generation service); meaning, that Public Key is usable by 3rd parties that what to communicate with you using encrypted content.
