Subject: SimpleSign for estabilishing the authenticity of XRD.


Hi.

I have updated the SimpleSign.
Now it include an Overview section so that you can find out how this
SimpleSign establishes the authenticity of the XRD. By just inspecting
the XRD, one can estabilish its authenticity, using
SubjectUniqueIdentifier and CanonicalID.

#Note: It is different that if one can Trust that entity. It just
establishes the authoritative-ness.

Also, I have added another potential signature method. #2.4.
Problem of #2.3 (File signing) is that it cannot be applied for
sequences of XRDs (i.e., XRDS)except for the entire XRDS. #2.4 solves
this. In #2.4, the XRD is Base64 encoded and saved as an attribute of
XRD, and signature is applied on that string. Downside is that the XRD
become approximately 2.3 times bigger.
