Browser ID Protocol
• The protocol involves three actors:
• Users: The actual people that want to sign into websites
using Persona.
• Relying Parties (RPs): Websites that want to let users
sign in using Persona.
• Identity Providers (IdPs): Domains that can issue
Persona-compatible identity certificates to their users.

1. User Certificate Provisioning
2. Assertion Generation
3. Assertion Verification
