proxyAuth

ProxyAuth is a Linux PAM to authenticate a GNOME desktop via a Bluetooth device. This is similar to Apple's Autlo Unlock feature where one can use their phone or watch to unlock their Macbook. Please do not consider using this software for personal use yet as it is still in development phase.

tldr: A Linux & Android implementation to Apple's Auto Unlock feature.

Status: Inactive

There has been no active development nor interest after the course ended. Feel free to fork the project, open issues and suggest changes. I will be making minor changes once in a while to clean up the code and play around.

2021-08-25: Project is still inactive but there are some planned features to be released in 12 months from now:

  • An entire rewrite of the android application
  • Integration of development tools (i.e. CI support via Github Actions, Doxygen for documentation, static analyzers, and testing suite)
  • Security enhancements (PATCHES.md will detail security fixes)
  • Support for Fedora (should be minimal changes since uses the same Graphical Desktop Environment)
