Trust negotiation allows two parties on the Internet to establish trust in each other according to the digital credentials thateach other possesses. Traditionally, trust negotiation uses certificates as digital credentials. However, certificates make trust negotiation difficult to use since people rarely have certificates available to them, and they must physically possess and secure all needed certificates in order to negotiate. To avoid these problems, this thesis proposes that credential authorities negotiate on behalf of the user. This thesis defines BrowserBased Trust Negotiation (BBTN) as a method for negotiating with credential authorities using the Secure Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
