Show HN: OpenBotAuth – Open-Source Web Bot Auth with Social Registry

OpenBotAuth's introduction of an open-source implementation for Web Bot Auth, utilizing a social registry with Github login, marks a significant development in standardized bot authentication over HTTP. This means that website owners can expect more secure and transparent interactions with bots, as Web Bot Auth enables signed agent authentication, allowing them to verify the identity of bots accessing their sites. With OpenBotAuth, website owners may see a reduction in fraudulent bot traffic and improved management of legitimate bot interactions, such as those from search engines or social media platforms. To prepare for this shift, website owners can take several actions: first, monitor their site's bot traffic and analyze logs to identify potential areas where Web Bot Auth can improve security; second, explore OpenBotAuth's social registry and consider hosting their own Signature Agent card/JWKS to enhance bot authentication; third, review and update their llms.txt files to ensure they are prepared to handle authenticated bot traffic and prevent potential issues with CDN lock-in.
