Abstract

    The document describes a SingleSignON solution to WWW seen as one Giant
    computer. As WWW use increases, on average an user has many service login
    accounts they have to manage. It would be better for most users at the 
    expense of some security risk to have one password for all the services and
    a WWW shell and a control panel. Also the WWW as an intelligent being could
    show information to an user interpreting their needs from all their accounts.

1. Introduction

    To implement a Single SIgnON solution to WWW seen as one Giant computer
    that would help navigate and use the WWW more easily, making passwords
    more manageable and WWW navigation more intuitive. THis is a precursor to
    futuristic project of Information as a bird that flies to the users.

2. Background
        CUrrently as a user i have multiple WWW services, i have a
        hosting account explodingmoon.org and email as pradeep@explodingmoon.org
        and email service from hotmail.com, and yahoo.com and i have a
        kasikorn K-cyber bank account, i have an account with cheaptickets.com
        that i have not used and i can retrieve and reactivate the password,
        i have two accounts with facebook. All accounts are used by me by using
        different usernames/userids and passwords. There might be several other
        services that i have registered and tried and never used and i do not
        remember any of these. If i can just authenticate with WWW and access
        all these serives seamlessly without typing in a password, that would
        lead to a better User experience and would be more time efficient.
        
3. General Information of the service
        
        I want to propose a WWW service that allows a WWW navigator to access all his
        authenticated services by logging just once. I want to propose a Valid registered
        email address as Single SignON key, or a WWW navigators primary email as WWW Single
        SignON Id. So lets say it is pradeep@explodingmoon.org.

        I want to propose concept of authentication ID. The authentication ID for an email
         service is just the email ID. But there could be many different levels of 
        authentication needed to be authorized to perform operations in the WWW, or 
        your desktop. I have a hosting account and access to a control panel in my hosting 
       service, thats a username and password to an application of the hosting service.
        Or it could be an application that I installed in my domain, like a blogging 
        software. I can propose a domainname and domainname/Filename/ where the application
        is installed. But authentication ID can be numerous depending on the Operating 
        systems and kinds of software.So in my case now , I want to see my email 
        pradeep@explodingmoon.org as my primary email id and my SingleSignON Id. 
        I have a hosting account in bluehost.com, and a control panel user and password, 
        I have an additional secondary email @explodingmoon.org
        pradeepkumarxplorer@explodingmoon.org. I have email services in hotmail.com, 
        pradeepan88@hotmail.com, a b2evolution blogging software loaded in
        http://www.explodingmoon.org/FCSP with a username pradeepkumarxplorer 
        and a password.

        Right now theres no way for an Information publisher to know who is accesing his
        or hers website other than their IP addresses. This has been a problem for me as
        a publisher. I wanted to be able to configure my website and say only authenticated 
        users can view my information. So if a user Helena@athens.net accesses my 
        information site, right now I would see an IP address used in Athens Internet 
       Service providers. I should be able to see the SingleSignON Id of Helena@athens.net
       using a visitor tracking software. And by making a query to a WHois database or
       some other Application level tool I should get more info about Helena@Athens.net. 
       I should be able to allow or disallow a user to my website at the HTTP daemon level.
       So I propose two classes of WWW navigators, Authenticated and anonymous.
       I can configure my website to allow anonymous users as well.

        The browser is a common internet application and most users use some publicly
        available services for email, or services of banks, eshops, travel planning etc.
        Public meaning the domainames are advertised and can be obtained as part of
        Information retrieval  searches, Wellsfargo.com, cheaptickets.com etc..

        A User should be able to either browse anonymously or as an authenticated user.
        When a User browse anonymously he or she should be restricted to see some
        contents in the WWW.

        The WWW should be seen as one Giant Computer. The desktop that you see on
        Your device should be known as the WWW desktop.
        A browser should have a Userid and Password field or user can proceed to
        browse anonymously.

        When i log into a computer, i should be able to invoke an Action to 
        Authenticate to WWW Desktop.

        The URL field should have next to it a UserName textfield and a Password
        TextField.

        There should be toggle button which shows who the browser user is, an
        Authenticated user or an anonymous user.

        The Desktop and the browser can be configured to accept the Desktops 
        Sessions Username and Password as the WWW Desktops Username and password!.

        If you are registering for first time, you create a Unique WWW User id 
        that would somehow linked to an external authentication.

        Lets say i am able to register to the WWW as Pradeep.
        My WWW id is Pradeep@Desktop.WWW

        If Pradeep@Desktop.WWW never logs into internet again for two years, 
        how would you locate Pradeep@Desktop.WWW . So in the registration there should 
        be something that links Pradeep@Desktop.WWW to a Non internet realm.
        Pradeep's travel document or finger print id or retinal scan or
        that Pradeep carries an Unique Obsidian from California.

        
        So the User can browse as anonymous or as an Authenticated User with 
        other attributes.

        In this design it is only Anonymous and Authenticated. 
        The Single SignON eliminates the need to login multiple times.

        Lets say I have chosen pradeep@explodingmoon.org as my primary email id or
         SingleSignON id. Registering for pradeepan88@hotmail.com and pradeep@yahoo.com
        Would be easy and just need one button click.

        I am adding these concepts WWW shell

        I propose a WWW shell, where I can do many operations related to SingleSignON 
        identity.

        The WWW shell should have Operations like these.

        Assign Username emailid

        AddtoProfileofUserName Does not want to see Webpages related to 
        Hindi Movie stars

        Load ProfileSummary3 pradeep@explodingmoon.org

        (May be a Database engine would help Profile management, creation etc)
        The concept of profile is to implement software that allows Information
        to fly to Users.

        I am adding these. A smartcard device can be used for SingleSignON and it can enforce
        additional authentication. I insert a card and the client requests me to put my fingers or
                 place my eyes for retinal scan. In addition information from services not used ot viewed
        can be shown. If i dont login to some domains or servives and the messages in those domains
        or services can be shown to remind me they are not looked at for long time.

5.Acknowledgement

    I have been a publisher of http://www.dhyanayoga.info since 2004/2005 
    and http://www.explodingmoon.org since 2008. I have used bluehost.com 
    for hosting my website and have found the need to know who views my site,
    their email addresses and not just IP address. If i can be shown a 
    Single SignON identity like a primary email address that when clicked
    on expands to other identities that viewers allows to reveal, it would
    be useful to me as a publisher.
