Hive Authentication Services Development and Maintenance

[arcange]

The Hive Authentication Services have been officially launched several months ago and I would like to thank everyone who has given their support and enabled its development.

What are Hive Authentication Services?

Hive Authentication Services (HiveAuth) makes it easy and secure for users to authenticate without providing any password or private key
• on any device (mobile, tablet, desktop, …)
• on any operating System (Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, …)
• on any applications (either web, desktop or mobile)

As of today, HiveAuth provides the most simple and secure 3FA authentication process.

HiveAuth solves password problems and is phishing-proof because you no longer need to provide your password or private key to any HiveAuth-enabled app or website.

More than 10K users have used it at least once to authenticate with their favorite application and the HiveAuth infrastructure handles more than 9K requests per day (authentications or transactions). And it's growing every day!

Work done

A lot has happened since the first announcement and if you have regularly followed updates regarding HiveAuth, you know that we have never stopped working on the project, both visibly by implementing new features and behind the scenes providing help for app developers.

Here is a quick recap of the work that has been done:

• The very first Annoucement
• Creation of a guide for developers [1] [2]
• Creation of a Private Key Storage Application (PKSA) guide
• Development and open-sourcing of a PKSA example
• Creation of HiveAuth integration code example
• Creation of the official HiveAuth website
• Production infrastructure setup and official Go Live

Several important improvements have been made along the way:

• Session Recovery Feature
• New Visual Identity

Developer support work has also been substantial

• creation of an open-source HiveAuth library for developers
• Support to @mintrawa for its Hive Authentication Client library (HAC)
• Support to @quochuy for its HiveAuth Client library
• Help for integration into Keychain Mobile
• Help for integration into Condenser (hive.blog)
• Help for integration into dBuzz [2]
• Help for integration into PeakD
• Help for integration into dlux.io
• Help for integration into CryptoShots
• Integration into Engage

Lot of time has also been spent on creating and maintaining a clear and exhaustive documentation available at https://docs.hiveauth.com. It contains:

• presentation of the project
• detailed description of the HAS protocol
• complete guide for application developers
• complete guide for wallet developers (PKSA)
• tutorials with multiple code examples
• link to open-source repositories for PKSA and apps libraries
• visual material for developers and writers

Preparation of HiveAuth presentation for several events

• Presentation at HiveFest 6
• The CryptoManiacs Podcast with @jongolson and @taskmaster4450
• Presentation at HiveFest 7
• Presentation at Oklahoma State University Blockchain Summit

Request for funding

This funding proposal aims to further develop, support and raise awareness of HiveAuth as well as cover the costs of the underlying infrastructure.

What's the benefit for Hive?

Hive Authentication Services has become the first fully decentralized authentication service backed by a blockchain. It enables the concept of "Your Hive account is your key" to become a reality, both for the Hive ecosystem and for the "outside world".

HiveAuth opens the door to countless possibilities. It also highlights the many functionality and ease of development on Hive.

Recent presentations to audiences outside of the Hive ecosystem have clearly demonstrated that this is not only attracting audience interest in HiveAuth but also in the Hive blockchain itself.

Budget

For this new proposal, we are applying for a daily budget of 325 HBD for a period of 12 months.

What's the funding for?

There is still a lot of work to be done, in terms of development, support and communication.

1. Development roadmap

• support for multi-sig transactions (WIP)
• support for variable timeouts for requests
• support for signing transactions with multiple operations
• support for signing transactions with multiple accounts
• support for integration into existing new Apps and PKSA
• support for multiple HAS nodes to allow load balancing and failover (WIP)
• improve the redundancy and the scalability of the infrastructure (WIP)
• dockerization of the HAS nodes for easy deployment
• creation of a HAS node deployment tutorial
• creation of new tutorials and code examples for additional development languages

and much more...

2. Regular work

• Code maintenance and deployment
• Support to users and (d)Apps developers
• Documentation maintenance, both for users and developers
• Communication and external awareness

3. Infrastructure

• Server(s) + Firewall
• Security management and monitoring tools
• Performances monitoring tools
• Domain registration
• Backup services

Support

I have always been easy to reach, responsive and as helpful as possible.

If you have any questions, support is provided on Discord

An excellent proposal for the maintenance and development of authentication services. I liked reading who is behind this project, I use each of these services, both on my mobile device and a desktop computer.

[arcange]

Thank you for your feedback @yisusth. Glad to read you are one of the happy and safe users of HiveAuth.

[katirayo]

This is Good news LoL although i have been seeing the Hive Auth but never knew what it was for and i never asked i was also going to try it myself but something spoke to me in my mind that I shouldn't go block my Hive account LoL, This is a sweet evolved and i am glad i saw this because i will put it too practice, Big thanks to @arcange for this crucial information.

[arcange]

Glad to read you changed your mind about using HiveAuth.
Looking forward to getting your support on the proposal

[thranax]

very good proposal for the maintenance and development of authentication services

[arcange]

Thank you @thranax

[happyphoenix]

Already Supported👍

[botefarm]

I just vote your proposal, this is so great a project.

For this new proposal, we are applying for a daily budget of 325 HBD for a period of 12 months.

You mean every day? & why is your expenses not using Hive. I'm guessing because HBD is pegged to a dollar though.

[arcange]

Thank you for your support @botefarm

why ... not using HIVE

Because the DHF (Decentralized Hive Fund) uses HBD only for funding proposals

[sunsethunter]

Awesome! You have my support :)

[catleen]

Hive lovers here

[woelfchen]

Though I will probably never use/ need it.. It still looks quite smart.
I will try to dive even a little deeper to make sure if I'll vote or not.

Looks like actually some quite nice work! :)

[arcange]

Thank you, looking forward to getting your support for the proposal ⏳🙂
If you want to connect to Hive apps on mobile, you should definitely use HiveAuth to authenticate.

[nachomolina2]

De mi parte brindo apoyo total a esta propuesta y a toda iniciativa que este dirigida al avance y evolución de la cadena de bloque Hive. @arcange

[arcange]

Muchas gracias por su apoyo @nachomolina2, es muy apreciado. 👍

[marajah]

With this project, am seeing hisve from a far better dimension. You have my full support. Am in love with hiveauth.

[cconn]

I will support your proposal! Im still learning & understanding my voting power…
So when I support this, how much is delegated from me? How can I tell and change it? Sorry for the delay 🙂

[hivebuzz]

We do not need any HIVE or HP delegation.
All you need to do is to click on the "support" button on this page. It won't cost you anything!

[cconn]

Thank you for clearing that up for me, I appreciate it. I will be supporting this project 🙂
