WebID + biometrics with permuted disposable features

For networked communications, cyber security and authentication are critical components. This work deals with the issue of security and authentication as it relates to features of the Semantic Web. The phrase "Semantic Web" alludes to the World Wide Web Consortium's idea of standards to make internet data machine-readable and reusable. WebID, for example, is a technique for managing profile data connected with people and services at self-defined locations. While the WebID protocol alone allows users more control over their connections to online services, biometric authentication is an additional process that can add security and convenience for individuals. The WebID protocol with biometric authentication allows more control for the individual user, but networked connections are still vulnerable to replay attacks (an attack in which the network is compromised and authenticating information is captured and replayed to allow unauthorized access).
