Abstract:
HTTP Origin-Bound Authentication (HOBA) is an HTTP authentication
method with credentials that are not vulnerable to simple phishing
attacks, and that does not require a server-side password database.
It is an alternative to HTTP authentication that requires passwords
and all the negative attributes that come with password-based
systems. HOBA can be integrated with account management and other
applications running over HTTP and supports portability, so a user
can associate more than one device or origin-bound certificate with
the same service. HOBA has many other useful features such as a
mechanism to handle state-loss if one of a user's credentials is lost
and a logout mechanism.
