I'm confused.
Relying Party = Membersite
Authorative Source = 3rd party = Authorative Site
Yes, but I think that the same protocol can be used between the
user's agent (homesite) and a relying party (membersite) or
authoritative source (authoritative site).
When going from HS -> AS, the AS is really a MS.
When going from AS -> HS (store), then it is an AS, and at that
time is party to the transaction
I think there is BIG value to us in AS being 3rd party and MS NOT
being 3rd party -- as it clearly makes the AS not be part of the
primary transaction
Ah yes, 'Third Party' is commonly taken to refer to a party outside
the transaction whom has given the first party something for
presentation to the second party. Goodness this is fun. I'll ponder
on an agreeable term for the second party. Oh, maybe that's the term?
Maybe we define FP, SP, and TP... 1P, 2P, 3P... where 1P is the
user's agent, 2P is the relying party, and 3P is the authoritative
source.
