Is it possible to enroll a hardware security key "remotely" (i.e., without the key itself)? Perhaps using some kind of public key?

Really enjoyed sharing Atlos.org at RightsCon last week! Working on Atlos — and deploying it to Bellingcat — is definitely a top life experience for me.
The Bellingcat Global Authentication Project team's popular webinar introduced the platform ATLOS to the RightsCon community and discussed data models in open source investigations. ATLOS is being used by The Global Authentication Project to manage our data and community. For those interested :
