Yubico

Two-Factor, Multi-Factor, or Passwordless Authentication with the YubiKeyOPT IN

1st Place The challenge that our judges deem best aligned with the above criteria will receive US$2000 and a set of limited-edition laser etched YubiKeys -- plus, we will promote it on our website and on social media.

2nd place A set of limited-edition laser etched YubiKeys

 Yubico believes that everyone deserves strong, easy, and affordable authentication, and we are committed to helping every internet citizen take control of their online identities. That’s why we invented the YubiKey — a multi-protocol, multi-factor authentication (MFA) device used by millions around the globe — and co-authored the FIDO U2F and FIDO2 open authentication standards. The DeveloperWeek San Francisco Hackathon is your opportunity to ensure the innovative product(s) you're building are also secured with strong authentication using a YubiKey.

OUR CHALLENGE: We want security to be a top priority during the Hackathon—and also easy to implement! Any connected device, mobile application, web service, or network requires adequate protection for user data security and privacy. The YubiKey is designed to make that a possibility with easy and strong authentication. We challenge you to incorporate a YubiKey into a Web Authentication (WebAuthn) flow for a standalone project, or any number of other DeveloperWeek challenges. Working with the YubiKey is flexible and agile as it supports multiple authentication protocols besides FIDO2/WebAuthn, including one-time password (OTP) , smart card (PIV), OpenPGP, and FIDO U2F. YubiKeys are compatible with iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Chrome OS operating systems. Visit developers.yubico.com to find integration libraries, plugins and documentation, which you can use to make your project work with the YubiKey. All YubiKey authentication protocols are welcome but we prefer and will prioritize judging of WebAuthn/FIDO2 authentication solutions.

During the DevWeek Conference, Yubico employees will be on site at Booth #214 to help answer integration questions. Integration use case ideas: - Add hardware-backed passwordless authentication to your service or application by integrating the YubiKey using the FIDO2 / Web Authentication standards. - Add hardware-backed multi-factor authentication by integrating the YubiKey using the OTP (one-time password), FIDO U2F, or FIDO2 authentication standards. - Store secrets on a YubiKey instead of the file system. Use it to generate certificates, sign, encrypt, and decrypt data by integrating PIV or OpenPGP.

TEAM INSTRUCTIONS: Visit Yubico in booth #214 on Thursday, February 13 and Friday, February 14 to familiarize yourself with the functionality of the YubiKey, and receive a complimentary YubiKey for your challenge. Determine if you want to build a standalone solution with the YubiKey, or if you would like to add YubiKey 2FA functionality to another DeveloperWeek challenge you are working on. Establish which authentication protocol you would like to use for the integration. This is primarily dependent on how much time you have for the challenge, what type of data you are protecting, and what type of user experience you want to offer your users. Review YubiKey documentation from developers.yubico.com to begin integrating with the YubiKey.

JUDGING: Yubico judges will evaluate projects based on YubiKey integrations, but also the larger project as a whole. While the technical security architecture and implementation is critical, we are also looking for innovative solutions that address unique or important use cases for consumers or enterprises. Each challenge will be judged based on the following criteria:

• Originality/Innovation: How original or innovative is this solution compared to other products and platforms already available on the market? The challenge should provide a unique approach to solving a problem.
• Impact: What is the potential for the project to drive immediate real-world impact?
• Security and User Privacy: To what extent does the solution ensure user data is secure and privacy is maintained?
• Design / User Experience: Is the solution intuitive and easy to use? Does it adhere to Yubico’s standards of frictionless, strong secure authentication using the YubiKey?
• Functionality: Working functionality of the application as submitted.
• Strategic Approach: We recognize that this is a hackathon challenge and that time is limited. While some of the integrations may not be complete or perfected, we are looking for teams who can speak to the larger vision of the project, share long-term goals, and what they might have been done differently if given more time.

The problem:
Roughly one third of the food produced globally for human consumption gets wasted. Local entrepreneurs (restaurants, hotels, bars) look for a solution to connect with the community and reduce food waste. As people become more environmentally conscious, they look for ways to prevent food waste. For example, they look for places to pick up some left-over food – eliminating food waste and usually getting it at a cheaper price.

The challenge:
Your challenge is to build an app that helps to achieve these goals of eliminating food waste, using location technology by TomTom. Take advantage of the entire TomTom APIs portfolio to access extended places content and enrich the user experience. The most creative and best executed apps win the first and second place prizes!

NEAR 

Use NEAR's Typescript web IDE and TestNet to deploy your first decentralized applications in less than a minute, and get a head start building your project.

 NEAR is a platform for building decentralization applications with a fanatical emphasis on developer experience and UX.

Use our Typescript web IDE and TestNet to deploy your first decentralized applications in less than a minute, and get a head start building your project.

We have templates with React frontend, so you can immediately start building using familiar tools.

Or use our Rust bindgen to build an application using one of the hottest languages of the decade, and learn along the way how to create secure and reliable decentralized services.

NEAR envisions a future in which all the core social services are decentralized and are run and operated by the community. We want people to be certain that no application or service they use collects their data in non transparent ways, changes the rules behind the scenes, or takes away access to the service.

We also want user generated content and data to be maintained in such a way, that no entity can get access to the data without user’s consent, but also that complex useful services can be built by the community that leverage the data with permission in the ways that benefits the society. We call it Open State. Think Open Source, but not just the source of the service is open, the state is also open and available to all.

PRIZES

We will be giving away four $500 prizes in four categories:

- Best reusable component / library ($500)

Decentralized applications with open state can be composed. Useful stateful component is like an NPM package, once built it can be used by any decentralized application. Build a useful open state component or library to win this prize.

- Best social application ($500)

This prize will go to the most interesting social application built on NEAR. What service can benefit society the most, and will benefit from being a community-owned application?

- Best game ($500)

Decentralized games have an advantage for the players that all the assets the players accumulate in such games belong to them, not to the game operator. Knowing that the assets cannot be taken away without reason creates a healthier economy in games, and gives more power to the players. Build a decentralized game on NEAR to claim this prize.

- Our favorite ($500)

This prize will go to the most interesting and creative use of NEAR.
