Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

DTLS-SRTP spoofing
However, a MITM controlling the signaling server could manipulate any attempt to communicate the fingerprint between the endpoints. Hence why certificate verification should be out-of-band (with regards to the signaling server). The most common solution I've seen is that the call participants can just read the fingerprints to each other and ensure they match. But there are other solutions including using a trusted third party, or even key transparency... because blockchain.

Key transparency: A transparent and secure way to look up public keys
Archived. Not sure when. :( I'm not sure what if anything is a decent replacement/substitute.
In the README examples I see text about what I think is Certificate Transparency. That was definitely the first thing this made me think of. There's also a lot of talk in the project about CONIKS[1], & associate research papers are about 'bringing key transparency to end users'.
The scenarios[2] are interesting, but I'm not sure fully how this project helps. They explicitly call out Upspin for encrypted storage, which was linked recently[3].
It appears to make heavy use of the Trillian cryptographically verifiable data store[4].

Why Doesn't Email Use Certificates?
Key Transparency is an example of such a system, built on a highly scalable backend system (Trillian, which powers Certificate Transparency), but it's been under development for several years without a production deployment.

How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

Deploying Web Apps with Caddy: A Beginner's Guide Caddy
Not as good though. Case in point: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5472#issuecomment-... (that's just from this morning)
I'm speak objectively here. Of course, any built-in auto HTTPS that works (more or less) is better than none. Traefik uses an ACME library that was originally written for Caddy. After the original author left that project, Traefik team started maintaining it. Caddy's users' requirements exceeded what the library was capable of, but unfortunately there was friction in getting it to achieve our requirements. So I ended up writing a new ACME client library in Go and, together with upgrades in CertMagic (Caddy's auto-TLS lib), Caddy has the more flexible, robust, and capable auto-HTTPS functionality.
That is to say, not all auto-HTTPS functionalities are the same.

Security Workshop Part 1 - Put up a gate
We'll use Traefik, an open source cloud native gateway that can plug into a Kubernetes cluster. It has the concept of "middleware" that can process API requests before passing them through to a backend. We can configuring a rate limit for all of our API endpoints by matching on the request path:
-
Install plugin in k8s cluster running in Kind
I did the same question here and here
- The Tailscale Universal Docker Mod
-
Set Default Config in traefik.toml and overwrite with specific container config
Sadly there is currently no way of doing so. https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/6999
- Istio moved to CNCF Graduation stage
-
Docker Services question
Traefik is another widely used system that has automatic configuration and offers support for more things like swarm/kubernetes/etc.

nginx alternatives
I have a webapp which I currently have deployed by running nginx in a container. Works as it should, however I am intersted in adding more observability to the webapp and found this reverse-proxy https://github.com/traefik/traefik which seems to expose some nice metrics which can be useful for observability.
