Signal your intent
MySignals is a protocol that allows your browser to automagically send your intentions to a website.
MySignals is a protocol to allow you to send signals to any website via your browser.
It's an extensible communications protocol allowing developers to define new kinds of signals (URIs). If parameters need to be sent along with the URI, a syntax for this is provided. Typically the person's browser sends signals on its first HTTP request, and can optionally discover which signal types a website supports before sending.
| Signal | Description |
|---|---|
| MyTerms | Proffer, negotiate and digitally sign mutually acceptable contracts related to privacy and data sharing using IEEE 7012. |
| AgeVerified | Tell the website you've been age verified by a third-party age verification service, and can and proffer verified age information on demand. |
| Identity | Tell the service provider who you are. Proffer them a (self-sovereign) digital identifier (e.g. KERI-AID, etc.). |
How it works
1 · One opening request
On its very first request the agent does two things at once - it sends a signal (a time-sensitive one can ride this first request) and asks which signaltypes the site supports. The site answers in one response - it acknowledges the signal and tells the agent which signaltypes it honors.
2 · Send the supported signaltypes
Knowing what's honored, the agent sends those signals. The site acknowledges each - and if one can't be honored, it says so ("Houston, we have a problem").
