-<p>A global distributed Social Web requires that each person be able to control their identity, that this identity be linkable across sites -  placing each person in a Web of relationships - and that it be possible to authenticate globally with such identities allowing each user to protect resources and enable his preferred privacy settings.
-This specification outlines a simple universal identification mechanism that is distributed, openly extensible, improves privacy, security and control over how each person can identify themselves in order to allow fine grained  access control to their information on the Web.
-It does this by applying the best practices of Web Architecture whilst building on well established widely deployed protocols and standards such as RDF and TLS.

 The WebID protocol enables secure, efficient and maximally user friendly authentication on the Web. 
 It enables People using a Web Brower to authenticate onto any site by simply clicking on one of the certificates proposed to them by their browser. These certificates can be created by any Web Site for their users in one click.
-The identity, known as the <tref>WebID</tref> is a URL pointing into a <tref>Profile Page</tref>, which any Social Network user is currently familiar with. These pointers into the Web then allow Web of trust based authorizations, where services can allow access to resource because of certain properties of an agent, such that the he is known by some relevant people.</p>

 <p>WebID authentication can also be used for automatic authentication by robots, such as web crawlers of linked data repositories, which could be agents working on behalf of users to help them in their daily tasks. WebID is not limited to Web Authentication, but can work with any TLS based protocol.</p>
