Blind crypto and OAuth2 for ARPA2

Advancing HTTP-SASL and keyless identity

HTTP-SASL is a generic mechanism for HTTP login, which can be used to incorporate new cryptography into HTTP flows. To allow this as a starting point from one's own domain, a trampoline from that domain to others might use OAth2, which is broadly adopted as trust crossover for web authentication. This project will develop a design connecting OAuth2 to HTTP-SASL, and will also add blind signatures to KIP - a protocol for identity based encryption. This allows KIP to be used e.g. for sharing keys between HTTP-SASL parties.
