RE: Hive Authentication Services - Protocol description

in HiveDevs2 years ago (edited)

Ok, I can wait for it. Maybe in the HiveFest we can chat... easier.

PS: I was not covering people that know how to deal with IPs... but instead the other way around, the ones that don't know and will get "tricked" by people that wish to take the glorious stupid creative path.

Moreover, the incoming IP seen by the PKSA will always be the one of the HAS it is connected to.
That being said, the App and the PKSA can display the uuid of the request for the users to match it.

In normal circumstances yes... but behind firewalls anything can happen. And big commercial buildings have huge problems with these. Most household ISPs will be ok... but when we move to IPv6, this will be uncontrollable. Not something to worry for the immediate future, but something to think about ahead of time and make some "preventive" countermeasures.
