In the swedish part of AMPRNet, which has an agreement with ARDC to
announce its allocated adress space via the points of presence of the
Swedish University Netwok (www.sunet.se), we are working on implementing
the edugain framework, used by research and education organisations and
many public authorities all over the world, for authentication. Edugain
is based on Identity Federations
(https://wiki.geant.org/display/eduGAIN/Identity+Federations+and+eduGAIN).
We have an agreement with SSA, the Swedish national ham organisation to
use the official database for an Identity Provider authenticating hams.
Once we have this operational we will be able not only to authenticate
hams, but also be able to negotiate access to great services like
Eduroam (https://www.eduroam.org/) <https://www.eduroam.org/>, have a
model for single sign on (SSO) to all services complying with this
standard, etc.
Any ohers that are working on this?
One good method might not have to exclude another though.

John,
Some time back the concept of authenticating hams using the P12
certificates such as the ARRL's Logbook of the World was discussed on
this list. I'm bringing that up again in light of this recent issue,
and also in case you weren't around when that was discussed on this
list.
In my mind, it kind would kind of alleviate the manual scrutiny part,
as it would be the certificate issuer's responsibility. (The ARRL
typically mails a post card with a code to the license address) It
might help filter out some of the bogus requests.
