Debian two-factor auth, GSoC?
Fedora recently put in Yubikey for their packagers[1], although they are
only half way there, supporting sudo but not web auth so far.
Similar things could probably happen in Debian.
I've proposed two-factor authentication as a potential area for a GSoC
project[2], two things come up:
a) would anyone else be interested in co-mentoring in this area (e.g.
development of tools to support/administer two factor auth)?
b) would anyone be interested in seeing this in Debian infrastructure,
has it been discussed before, and could this provide guidance to any
students proposing a project in this area?
Even if you don't have time to formally commit to GSoC, it would be
useful to have feedback from people who have experienced this in other
projects and would like to see it in Debian.
