var fs = require("fs");
var forge = require('node-forge');
var debug = require('debug')('converter');
var BigInteger = forge.jsbn.BigInteger;

// change as necessary
var countryName      = 'UK';
var domain           = 'http://databox.me/';

WebID TLS in Chrome/Chromium

1. allow Key generation in chrome://settings/content
2. register an account that will generate a cert - eg. https://databox.me/ creates user.crt
3. on OSX

• Under 'Keychains' on the left, select 'Login' then 'File' > 'Import Items...'
• Select certificate in 'My Certificates' and set it to Always Trust

var debug = require('debug')('hn')
var request = require('request')

debug('starting hn')

var config = {}
config.defaultStories = 5

What I think would be helpful would be a table of auth mechanisms, something like:

This table should be used as a rough guide, not as black and white

Name	URI used	Verification	Required	Implemented
WebID TLS	WebID	TLS	Y	Y
Cookie	implied	Shared Secret	Y	Y
WebID RSA	WebID	Web Crypto API	N	Y
HTTP Signatures	Public Key	Web Crypto API	N	N

SoLiD Discovery (Draft)

The following describes discovery in the SoLiD framework using HTTP link following aka "follow your nose".

Starting point -- WebID

The starting point of SoLiD discovery is a WebID user profile, which is a hash based URI, typically denoting a (FOAF) Agent. From this profile all of your storage can be found (discovery).
