This proposal lets them authenticate to Solid pods instantly - no account creation, no passwords, no redirect flows.\n\n📸 **Login page with Schnorr SSO:**\n\n\u003cimg width=\"432\" height=\"840\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/079a8205-79bf-4382-8d50-b858cdec626e\" /\u003e\n\n🎥 **See it in action:** https://youtube.com/watch?v=wlADHzVNcvM\n\n## What is it?\n\n- **HTTP Schnorr Auth** - Authentication using BIP-340 Schnorr signatures\n- **did:nostr** - A self-certifying DID method (one compatible identity format)\n\nUsers authenticate with browser extensions - one click, no passwords.\n\n## 4-Phase Roadmap\n\n| Phase | Description | Status |\n|-------|-------------|--------|\n| **Phase 1** | DID identities in ACLs + Schnorr signature verification | ✅ Complete |\n| **Phase 2** | SSO \"Sign in with Schnorr\" button on login page | ✅ Complete |\n| **Phase 3** | Linked identities (WebID ↔ DID) | Planned |\n| **Phase 4** | Global DID resolver integration | Planned |\n\n## Specifications\n\n- [http-schnorr-auth](https://nostrcg.github.io/http-schnorr-auth/) v0.0.1 - HTTP authentication spec\n- [did:nostr](https://nostrcg.github.io/did-nostr/) v0.0.10 - Compatible DID method\n\n## Test Suite\n\n10 test vectors: https://github.com/nostrcg/http-schnorr-auth/tree/gh-pages/test-vectors\n\n## Related Work\n\nWorking implementations exist for CSS, Pivot, and JSS. This represents 2 years of development and testing.\n\n## Phase Issues\n\n- Phase 1+2: To be submitted and linked to this issue","author":{"url":"https://github.com/melvincarvalho","@type":"Person","name":"melvincarvalho"},"datePublished":"2026-01-12T06:45:39.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1845/node-solid-server/issues/1845"}
