User:Infinity Linden/OGP Trust Phase 0

Important Note

• This page describes the near term "trust objectives". In this context, "Near Term" means issues relating to features that already existed in Second Life in September 2008, and how they will be implemented to support non-Linden Agent and Region domains. Discussions regarding the future of Trust in OGP (including, but not limited to: Rights Expression Languages, revised permissions for in-world objects, distributed third-party authentication, integrating OpenID or SAML, etc.) should be directed towards the OGP Trust Model page.

The diagram to the right shows how different protocol actors in OGP establish trust.

note: this diagram needs a bit of an update. it does a poor job describing how capabilities are trusted and it doesn't describe how client applications trust the region domain servers.
