Hello! Please compare this to Steve Gibsons SQRL login scheme. Are there any major differences or is this based on that project? It looks very similar on the surface
The general crypto scheme (auth based on signed requests) is the same as SQRL. Differences:
(1) SQRL employs one identity that users use across multiple SQRL-enabled services. Keyri-enabled accounts are not portable/natively-shareable across different services like that - they are specific to the services users registered with
(2) Users don't need to download an SQRL client on their desktop device. I see that independent developers have made iOS and Android clients, but Steve notes they currently lack certain important features (though I haven't investigated enough to know their deficiencies)
(3) Our main product is an SDK that developers can embed in their own mobile apps
