University Needs OAuth
So, some service requires scanning of university ID card in order to acquire access to them, however, we noticed that manually OCR'ing ID is computing-intensive and rather inaccurate, also prone to forgery by the malicious actor.
By providing service with interoperative university authentication platform, based on OAuth or other modern authentication protocol, we believe we can provide unfalsifiable source of truth with far easier manner, also with scoped access ensuring the privacy of user.
Also, there is already a case for the interoperable university authentication: the Eduroam. Their RADIUS system and 802.1X network is interconnected worldwide, indicating, with enough scale and benefit, the creation of interoperable authentication layer is not just technically possible but rather feasible from campus politics factor.
