DRAFT: Improving your login security with Fedora challenge-response authentication

[Michael Erwin]

Attached you will find the first submitted draft of the article.

I do need a graphic to help explain the offline challenge-response
operation, if possible.

Helpful comments, thoughts and suggestions much appreciated.

Hi Michael,

It seems like the attachment might have been stripped by the mailing
list software. Do you have a FAS account yet[1]? If you do, you should
be able to log into the Fedora Magazine site[2] and can create your
draft. The "Writing an article for the Fedora Magazine" article should
help[3].

Hello Everyone,

I have the initial draft uploaded and set at:

https://wp.me/p3XX0v-5WY

I went ahead and pulled together a feature image of the Fedora29
background, the token image configuredlike Lmacken used on the 27-Jan-
2018 article on using the Yubikey4.

Need to determine if I can use that image style. Editors?

Wonder if we should do an image of on how challenge-response
authentication flows?

As always, comments, thoughts or seuggestions are most welcome.

Hi Michael,

The article is really good! We'll probably work up a different
featured image for the article that fits our current style. When you
ask about another image, are you talking about something inside the
article itself, like a diagram?

Hi Paul,

Changing it is a great idea, I just put that image in as a holder.

I do believe it needs a graphic clarification for paragraph 7.

Since our resident best illustrator also wasn't available, I just did
my best to simplify the writing and make the description as clear as
possible. Hope that suffices!
