Authentication Fabric

(incomplete - to be updated) The Authentication Fabric is complicated and involves many parts, that are intended to work as an ecosystem.

The effect of the Authentication Fabric is intended to result in a curatable, highly secure & accountability 'fabric' with attribute based access control; that becomes managable via the query interface (alongside more manual interfaces).

There's a couple of different layers involved in this Authentication Fabric.

Authentication of Devices

A variety of host-fingerprinting information is employed and thereafter supported via WebIDSpecifications WebID-TLS, WebID-TLS and similar.

Network Authentication tooling

The "Network" Authentication fabric makes use of IPv4/IPv6 (preferred) tooling, alongside DNS, TLS, VerifiableClaims&Credentials and WebID-OIDC

Agent Authentication Tooling

Agent based authentication links with the semantic authentication chain, alongside WebID-OIDC and VerifiableClaims&Credentials alongside tools such as WebAuthn.

NOTE This document is incomplete. There's a bunch more that ends-up going into the ecosystem that ends-up supporting a form of safety / security 'fabric' that (afaik) is unlike others.
