WebID Verification Demo This will check the WebID watermark in your X.509 Certificate.

A WebID is a way to uniquely identify a person or other entity, such as a company, an organization, a web site, or other resource. The term "WebID" was coined by Dan Brickley and Tim Berners-Lee in 2000. As of 2010, the term "WebID" is used for a class of solutions, not any one technology. W3C may attempt to standardize one particular identity technology, which may use the term "WebID" more definitively. One of the current approaches using the name "WebID" is the FOAF+SSL WebID, a certificate-based solution. However, the concept of a WebID does not always depend upon FOAF (Friend-of-a-Friend).
