I've been working on a new authentication system that does not use a third party.
The main properties:
Convenience: Uses Bitcoin Cryptography (Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet) to generate all identities from a single seed, no need to back up passwords for every site. No need to worry about passwords.
Decentralized: The identity system does not require a third party, all identities are generated from the embedded Bitcoin wallet.
Privacy: All identities are sandboxed to each app provider by default. Also, no reliance on 3rd party authentication provider provides privacy.
It's an early alpha, and I would appreciate any constructive feedback.
