This document defines how to identify and validate end-user agents, enabling authorization claims to be enforced by Linked Web Storage Authorisation Servers.

This is an unofficial proposal.

Introduction

This document defines a mechanism for identifying agents and end users that plan to interact with a linked web storage server. This specification does not mandate a particular format for end-user credentials, though it does describe how existing identity systems can be used in conjunction with the linked web storage authorization framework.

This document also covers a variety of security, privacy, internationalization, and accessibility considerations for ecosystems that use the technologies described in this specification.
