A secure, distributed, and easy to use identification system.

This is an exploration of the distributed identity system described here.

Required software:

All of the servers here are based on node.js, and some number of 3rd party node modules are required to make them go. (npm is a good way to get these libraries)

• node.js (>= 0.4.5): http://nodejs.org/
• express (>= 2.3.11): http://senchalabs.github.com/express/
• xml2js (>= 0.1.5)
• sqlite (>= 1.0.3)
• mustache (>= 0.3.1)
• cookie-sessions (>= 0.0.2)
• nodemailer (>= 0.1.18)
• vows (>= 0.5.8)
• bcrypt (>= 0.2.3)
• ejs (>= 0.4.3)
• temp (>= 0.2.0)
• express-csrf (>= 0.3.2)
• uglify (>= 1.0.6)

Getting started:

1. install required software
2. run the top level run.js script: node ./run.js
3. visit the demo application ('rp') in your web browser (url output on the console at runtime)␁

Testing

We should start using this:

https://github.com/LearnBoost/tobi

for integration testing

and straight Vows for unit testing
