What can I do with an i-name?
Every i-name comes with a set of free i-services. These are described here:
OpenID
|
Your i-name can be used as a single-sign-on OpenID identifier.
Note: As XRI is an optional OpenID extension, not all OpenID relying parties support it properly.
|
|
Contact Page
|
Other people can send you messages at =web*yourname/(+contact).
This has the following advantages:
- People can contact you just by knowing your i-name. They do not need to know your e-mail address.
- Your privacy is improved because your e-mail address is never exposed when someone sends you a message through your Contact Page.
- If the sender has their own i-name, it gets authenticated during the process, so you can be sure that the sender really is who they claim to be.
You can configure a custom description on your personal Contact Page.
|
Forwarding
|
You can configure arbitrary forwarding mappings for your i-name, making it easy
for people to reach you through a number of different channels just by knowing your
i-name.
For example:
- =web*yourname/(+email): This could map to your e-mail address.
- =web*yourname/(+blog): This could map to your weblog.
- =web*yourname/(+skype): This could map to your skype account.
If enabled, the Forwarding i-service also supports an index page at =web*yourname/(+index),
where people can discover a list of all your mappings.
|
Locator
|
You can indicate your current physical location to other people at =web*yourname/(+locator).
After you manually enter the name of your current location in our configuration
interface (e.g. "Paris, France") your Locator Page will display a description, the
coordinates and a map.
|
XDI
|
Every i-name has an associated personal XDI context and XDI endpoint.
XDI Messaging can be used to talk to this endpoint and to perform various XDI
operations on it.
Note: This is an experimental service. It is likely to change.
See the following links for more information about XDI:
|
PKI
|
Every i-name has an associated private/public key pair.
You can programmatically retrieve your own private key by using your i-name
password, and other people can discover your public key just by knowing your i-name.
Therefore, a global PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is established, which can
be used for sending messages and for similar purposes.
Note: This is an experimental service. It is likely to change.
|
OAuth
|
Third parties can extend the functionality of your i-name by registering additional
services in your i-name configuration.
This is achieved using the OAuth protocol. Any external configuration change to your
i-name has to be authorized by you.
Note: This is an experimental service. It is likely to change.
See the following links for more information about OAuth:
