[saag] Web Bot Auth: BoF and Mailing List Details

All,

We would like to draw your attention to the *Web Bot Auth BoF* that might
be of interest to people on this list.

Here is the BoF description:

Currently, wide practice is for Web sites to identify non-browser clients
> using IP addresses, the User-Agent header field, and/or reverse DNS.

All of these techniques have limitations and deficiencies, and at the same
> time the need for stronger identity for bots is becoming stronger, as
> non-browser traffic on the Web grows in volume and importance.

The community appears to be converging on cryptographic identity as a
> solution. This BoF proposes a Working Group to define such mechanisms.

The BoF will take place on Monday 2021-07-21 at 5:00pm-7:00pm (Madrid local
time).

Regards,
David & Rifaat (Web Bot Auth BoF chairs)
