http://rww.io/ uses WebID to authenticate users. Fisheye should be able to be the WebID provider.

The specification mentions that each user should have their own public/private key pair, generated by the browser. This implies that the identity is tied to the current browser, which isn't all that great. The alternative is storing the user's private key on the server, which is worse.
