    12 Whom is it useful ? Probably for most Projects the key based signing method is enough. In our case (SZTAKI) we are developed a method to interconnect different BOINC projects, and we needed to move not just work units but also applications belonging to them between projects. Using the key based signing method would have required to store the code signing private key on the project's (networked) machine to be able to sign any incoming application, which represents a great security risk. Instead we chose to implement a new authentication method for BOINC in order to be able to move applications controlled between projects.
