I don't understand the centralization argument. If anything, software solutions should make systems less centralized, since anyone will be able to run their own auth infrastructure on their own hardware.
If you mean that a single codebase could be an attractive target for attacks, it's still not a problem since the Free Software community loves having a dozen of competing implementations of the same thing just for the sake of it :)
- TremendousJudge 5y agoSorry, I don't mean that the actual system is centralized, as in everybody pings back to the same server or organization, but that it shares a similar vulnerability with having the same codebase running in local hardware. And this isn't even solved by having standard protocols, open source implementations as you mentioned -- only mitigated. OpenSSL was exploited too.
