This is an exploration of the distributed identity system described here.

Required software:

All of the servers present in this repository are based on node.js, and a minimal but non-zero number of 3rd party node modules are required to make it go. npm is a good tool to use to acquire the requisite modules.

• node.js (>= 0.4.5): http://nodejs.org/
• The connect framework (>= 1.3.0): http://senchalabs.github.com/connect/
• xml2js (>= 0.1.5)
• sqlite (>= 1.0.3)
• mustache (>= 0.3.1)
• cookie-sessions (>= 0.0.2)

Getting started:

1. install required software
2. run the top level run.js script: node ./run.js
3. visit the demo application ('rp') in your web browser (url output on the console at runtime)␁
