Authentication By Website

To collaborate in accordance with WikiCopyRights some online authentication mechanism seems to be necessary.

For example, author A gives author B permission to use some of his/her material on an external host (e.g. a dedicated WikiForum). To ensure, that the original author (and not a faked one) is giving permission, the following Authentication By Website procedure is suggested:

Author A

  1. gives a written permission on his/her external static Website
  2. establishes BidirectionalLinks between his/her Website, the appropriate WikiPage and the new target page for applying the permission
  3. lets archive the permission document on a public Web archive

Author B
  1. acknowledges on his/her target page the permission
  2. bidirectionally links the involved pages
  3. lets archive the acknowledge document on a public Web archive
