[Noisebridge-discuss] [POTENTIAL DRAMA] What do people think about GW?

[Christopher Nielsen]

Don't know how it actually works with wave, but taking an idea from
Kerberos and using cross-realm trust and authentication might be a
good direction. For those that don't know, cross-realm trust and
authentication permits a realm to manage it's own users but recognizes
other users from a trusted realm. The realms still do authentication
of their own users, but there is a trust relationship between the two
realms. Reading that back, it doesn't look very clear, but I hope it
helps.
