[Meta] Authentication and device verification
This issue helps organizing the different issues around this topic.
We should clearly distinguish between authentication and device verification.
Authentication includes:
- A) authentication of private individuals via BundID-IdP against Matrix homeserver
- B) authentication of public agencies against our Matrix backend
- C) authentication of private individuals via eID against online service
Device verification includes:
- D) mutal device verification between private individuals and public agencies (resulting in the establishment of a cryptographically authenticated channel between private individuals and public agencies)
- [Requirements] Analyse requirements for authentication of communication partners: #242
- [Requirements] Requirements for the eID Server zero trust solution: #168
- D1) eID-based device verification by end users: private individual proofs possession of their devices
- Define basics for eID verification of Matrix devices: #186
- D2) X509-based device verification by Fachbehörden: public agency proofs possession of their devices: #2
- E) cross-signing devices (in case private individuals or public agencies use multiple devices)
- Create an ADR and flow diagram for cross signing of new logins using eID (own devices, not Fachverfahren): #146
