ABSTRACT

The Solid project aims to restore data sovereignty through a decentralized ecosystem. However, the architectural separation between data stores and identity providers induces network latency during authentication. Specifically, the DPoP mechanism, while secure, degrades application performance due to complex handshakes and verification processes. To address this, this paper proposes a server-based authentication architecture that improves processing speed while adhering to Solid specifications. The proposed system establishes a Trusted Zone within the backend and employs caching to reuse access tokens, minimizing repetitive verifications. Experimental results in a Community Solid Server environment demonstrate that the method reduces authentication time by 89% compared to standard DPoP and 61% compared to standard Bearer tokens. These findings suggest the proposed architecture offers a viable solution for Solid applications without compromising security.
