Identity System

Status: Blocked by Cryptography Library
This draft describes the identity system as it will be implemented once the cryptography library supports identity signing.

Privly currently supports standard authentication via passwords and session management via cookies. Cookie authentication works well for hosting content on a single server, but seamless integration with any arbitrary content server requires a more advanced solution. We will build "identity wallets" into the extensions where the user can choose to assert any of a set of identities signed by the relevant identity provider. See this Github issue.
