Abstract(in English) Current Web authentication methods have their own issues. Forms and cookies, which is most commonly used, has a long-standing issue called tracking cookies. HTTP provides an access authentication framework, but it is rarely used because of lack of presentational control. This paper proposes iAuth, which brings presentational control to the HTTP access autentication framework. iAuth enables servers to provide log-in forms. iAuth does not have its own authentication mechanism, but any mechanism including Basic and Digest authentications can be incorporated with it. Since iAuth has backward compatibility with legacy systems, developers are allowed to introduce iAuth into their Web sites or browsers independently. We made experiments to confirm the correctness, by running an iAuth server against not only an iAuth client but major legacy browsers.
