This component | === Verifier === | ||
This component verifies assertions that a user controls a given email address, | |||
and interacts with email providers to validate the user's control (by sending the | |||
challenge/response emails). In an ideal system, the email providers would do | |||
the verification themselves, but in the meantime we must implement one as an | |||
on-ramp. | |||

=== Implementation Server === | |||
This component serves the Verified Email protocol code to the user agent -- at | |||
the relying party's request. When an RP wants to use browserID, they hotlink | |||
to resources on the Implementation Server to connect to the system. | |||
