Title : HTTP Origin-Bound Authentication (HOBA)
Author(s) : Stephen Farrell
Filename : draft-farrell-httpbis-hoba-00.txt

Abstract:
This memo proposes a way of using origin-bound certificates for HTTP
authentication, called HOBA. HOBA is an HTTP authentication method
with credentials that are not vulnerable to simple phishing attacks,
and that does not require a server-side password database, both major
potential positives, if deployed. HOBA can be integrated with
account management and other applications running over HTTP and
supports portability, so a user can associate more than one device or
origin-bound certificate with the same service. This also provides a
mechanism to handle state-loss, if one of a user's credentials is
lost. HOBA also provides a logout mechanism.
