+This repo contains a proof of concept for HTTP Authentication for IC canisters. It showcases how to use the [Binary Representation of HTTP Messages](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc9292.html) to send authenticated HTTP requests to a canister.
 
 ## Advantages
 
-Using HTTP Message Signatures instead of the custom authentication mechanism has the following advantages:
+Using HTTP Authentication instead of the custom authentication mechanism has the following advantages:
 
-- Uses an IETF standard for authentication that does not require [setting custom fields in the request body](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/references/ic-interface-spec#authentication)
+- Uses an IETF standard for encoding HTTP messages that does not require [setting custom fields in the request body](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/references/ic-interface-spec#authentication)
 - Removes the need of [CBOR](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/references/ic-interface-spec#api-cbor) for encoding messages sent to and received from canisters. As a consequence:
   - Canisters can expose their API using their preferred standard (e.g. OpenAPI, gRPC, etc.)
   - Existing and widely adopted API standards (REST, GraphQL, etc.) can be used to interact with canisters, enabling popular tools and libraries to be used
   - Developing client and server side code is easy, as the requests and responses are standard HTTP requests and responses

-## Benchmarks
-
-At the current state, the proof of concept verifies signatures of requests sent to the canister inside the canisters directly. Verifying canister signatures is
-
-We use [Canbench](https://github.com/dfinity/canbench) to benchmark the performance of some functions of the [ic-http-auth](./packages/ic-http-auth/) package.
-
-To run the benchmarks, first install the `canbench` CLI:
-
-```shell
-cargo install canbench
-```
-
-Then, run the benchmarks:
-
-```shell
-cd packages/ic-http-auth
-canbench

-The latest results can be found in the [canbench_results.yml](./packages/ic-http-auth/canbench_results.yml) file.

-> Note: if you want to update the benchmarks results, you can run the benchmarks with the `--persist` flag:
->
-> ```shell
-> canbench --persist

+> [!NOTE]
+> Currently, the HTTP Gateway running locally does not support the old HTTP Protocol, so the Internet Identity frontend will not work locally. You can either disable authentication locally or use the app deployed on mainnet.
