Elfyn McBratney <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Web Authenticator
System name: wwwauth
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Webauth is a daemon, a library and a set of utilities (and client) for 
performing secure authentication over the Internet and/or network. Webauthd 
(the daemon) uses a simplistic HTTP-like protocol for comminicating with the 
client for sending authentication data (e.g., host, login and password) over 
the wire, with user credentials and daemon/client configuration stored in xml 
files, by default.

The library itself uses unique MD5 hostname-derived keys for communication 
which are verified when a before each authentication request from the client, 
with all passwords sent encoded.

The library and daemon require libxml2 (from the GNOME project) version 2.5.4 
or higher. I also plan to add support for MySQL, OpenSSL, PostgreSQL, Berkely 
DB and flatfiles as add-on modules. After a stable release I plan to write Perl 
and PHP extensions to the library.

Other Software Required:
libxml2
mysql
openssl
postgresql
openssl
db4


Other Comments:
I don't currently have the sources available on the net, so if possible I'd 
like to send it via e-mail. It's only ~80K, as only the library has been 
written (with provisions for the rest).
