Hey, I attended the BOINC workshop and gave a presentation about gridcoin, see: https://youtu.be/_oJOqeKB-lM
During my presentation I mentioned the need for improving BOINC account ownership proof by introducing a scrapable user data field to the profile. During the hackday, concerns were raised that by storing data on the BOINC servers additional risk was being placed upon the boinc servers. After the workshop, I took the comments into account and created an openssl signing function to prove within any external system that you are the owner of an UserID for an individual BOINC project, without storing any external system data within the BOINC project's servers (besides the php page and additional keys). I have produced a pull request: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/pull/2134 I would greatly appreciate comments and peer review of this PR. Best regards, CM. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
