The current default authentication method in TypePad and Movable Type's Atom implementation is WSSE. WSSE is a header containing a token based on username, password and date and looks like:

X-WSSE: UsernameToken Username="name", PasswordDigest="digest", Created="timestamp", Nonce="nonce"

I have implented a library in JavaScript to generate this header, quite useful for XmlHttpRequest and GM_XmlHttpRequest functions. An example of use:

'''javascript

<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="wsse.js"> <script language="JavaScript1.2"> var w = wsseHeader(Username, Password); alert('X-WSSE: ' + w); </script> '''

This library uses code from Paul Johnston, JF Walker and aardwulf systems.
