Blueauth (Live demo: https://blanka.lol/validation/bsky.php)

This is a custom authentication system designed for Bluesky, a social media platform, allowing users to verify their ownership of an account. The system generates a unique random string for each user, which they must post on their Bluesky account for validation.

Pre

Please install socialweb/atproto composer package.

composer require socialweb/atproto

Components

• Frontend:

  • HTML, CSS (Bootstrap), and JavaScript are used for the user interface.
  • Users input their Bluesky handle and are guided through the verification process.
  • Feedback alerts provide information on the verification status.

• Backend:

  • bsky-api-string.php: Generates a random string associated with the user's Bluesky handle.
  • bsky-api-auth.php: Validates the ownership of the account by comparing the posted string with the generated one.
  • bsky-local-api.php: Grabs the latest feed post.

Usage

1. Input Bluesky Handle: Users enter their Bluesky handle in the provided field.
2. Generate Random String: Upon submission, a unique random string is generated and displayed.
3. Post on Bluesky: Users post the generated string on their Bluesky account for verification.
4. Validation: The system validates the ownership based on the posted string.
5. Feedback: Users receive immediate feedback on the validation status through alerts.

Technologies Used

• HTML, CSS (Bootstrap), JavaScript for frontend development.
• PHP for backend handling of string generation and authentication.
• cURL for making requests to Bluesky API.

Note

• Backend Integration: Ensure proper integration and configuration of the backend scripts (bsky-api-string.php and bsky-api-auth.php) for the system to function correctly.
• Security: Implement security measures, such as input validation and sanitization, to prevent vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
• Testing: Thoroughly test the system in various scenarios to ensure reliability and security.

This system provides a basic framework for Bluesky authentication and can be extended and customized according to specific requirements and security considerations.
