Yesterday afternoon I had a closer look at FOAF+SSL. It is very 
appealing due to it's inherent support for single sign-on mechanisms.

It seems however, only the authentication part is covered but not the 
authorization part. The latter would require additional effort on our 
side, apart from the yet-missing libraries to support it on several 
technological platforms.
