[DotGNU][PG-Proposal] dotGNU authentication and authorization subsystem.

[Matthew Copeland]

Project:        dotGNU authentication and authorization subsystem
Proposed Mailing List name:     dotgnu-auth
Description:

        The purpose of this project will be to find a replacement for a
single server/entity control over authentication (i.e.  passport) that
will allow the following.

*       Control of data by the individual.  (Privacy Protection)

*       Mechanism for automatic logins and single logins.  

*       Distributed and scalable control mechanism for servers such that
        any individual, company, or government can create an
        authentication server and the user can decide which to use at run
        time.  (This means that no single authority can also manage
        primary servers like you see with the root nameservers under DNS.)

*       Method for replacing .NETs authentication system with the dotGNU 
        authentication system.

*       Method for handling anonnimity within the network.

*       Methods for securly handling all data, personal or otherwise.

p.s.  I am hoping that others will find this kind of format useful.
Please respond to the original message that stated the idea for how this
should be formatted with feedback rather than to this message.  That way
feedback to this message can be on just this topic.  Thank You.
