Where the Money Is Used#

Financial contribution methods on the Authelia GitHub repositories and on the Authelia website are always utilized in the development of Authelia in some way. None of the money is utilized for any personal expense. The Authelia maintainers are unpaid.

At this stage the usage of money donated has been minimal with only a single instance of money being used. This money was voluntarily given to security researchers who discovered a vulnerability which has since been fixed. This exchange was not prompted by any bug bounty program as we do not have one, but we hope to in the future.

Potential usage for the money, ranked in order of priority:

1. Put Authelia through a comprehensive Security Audit.
   1. Audit of Code Security via Analysis.
   2. Audit via Penetration Testing.
2. Obtain formal accreditations.
3. Bug Bounty Program.

Sponsorship#

Authelia is sponsored by several companies via indirect means. These companies deserve a special mention since their contributions are very important to us but not easily visible.

If you feel you have a product or service that Authelia could benefit from please feel free to contact us.

In the event that an entity decides to sponsor an entire or large part of a formal and industry recognized audit we would be willing to discuss terms including but not limited to making formal acknowledgement in the form of a blog post, perpetual recognition on the eventual publication of the results, and long term recognition on other various areas of the project.

We would however not be interested in discussion of project direction ideas that contradict with our core values, or in any way compromise the integrity of the development or architecture processes we engage in, or any advertising within the Authelia binary itself.

We are currently directly looking for someone to sponsor:

• Security Audit
