For the WWW, an alternate solution has already been proposed and implemented. You can find an HTTP server, client and browser that function using a decentralized designation and authentication model at: http://www.waterken.com/dev/YURL/ The acceleration part depends upon the participation of others, such as yourself. The YURL model is currently being discussed in a thread that includes both the web-calculus list and the cap-talk list. You can join the web-calculus list at: http://mail.waterken.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/web-calculus and the cap-talk list at: http://www.eros-os.org/mailman/listinfo/cap-talk or we could extend the discussion to this list. The current thread is a continuation of the moderator terminated thread you may have seen on the cryptography list. This termination prevented the many misunderstandings from being addressed. You can find a FAQ on these misunderstandings at: http://www.waterken.com/dev/YURL/FAQ/ Tyler -- The union of REST and capability-based security: http://www.waterken.com/dev/Web/
