Re: [44net] Validating users

[...] Compare that to [...] LOTW [...] which can support offline validation. working on the technical aspects or the validation aspects of the solution. The ideas I had spelled out in one of the other threads can essentially be broken down like this: 1. Create a shared online authentication service for convenience of the many Internet connected amateur related systems out there, including validation using LotW and potentially other means. 2. Simplify and document the service in a way that would allow it to be easily recreated in a standard way by isolated networks or those who must only trust their own validations. We tried broaching this subject on the new ARETF message boards a couple years ago, but they haven't had any traffic other than spambots since then. :( As mentioned in the other thread here last week, I'm thrilled to have finally found others who are also interested in this topic, so I had started a new public mailing list devoted to it. I encourage you and others to join us there so we can return the AMPRNet mailing list to being an ICMP traffic alerting service. hihi ;) Join here: https://groups.io/g/hamauth -or- join by sending an email to: hamauth+subscribe(a)groups.io Cory, NQ1E Seattle
