What do you guys think of this strategy? This seems like the only way to implement age verifcation that actually respects your #privacy (or does it?). I’m not necessarily endorsing it but I’m curious to hear peoples’ thoughts. #askfedi

@chimpchomp @txtx all depends on the vendor and how the authentication protocol works. Can easily be corrupted or mass produced if not careful like how comodo had their certificates falsified — https://www.darkreading.com/cyberattacks-data-breaches/flawed-website-certificate-validation-process-led-to-comodo-hack
@justincrozer @txtx interesting. I guess the tokens would need to be random because if there was a pattern in how they are produced that could be exploited. Though maybe someone who understands this stuff better could come up with a more efficient solution
