GameServer Tripcodes or Proof of Identity

[uniboi]

Having a system to identify a server without impersonation would allow a "favorite server" system.

I'd propose a system inspired by tripcodes often used in imageboards:

1. A Gameserver sends, when registering itself to the Masterserver, an optional tripcode (or password, etc)
2. The Masterserver hashes this input and confirms it's unique
3. When requesting the server list, the hashed tripcode is included as server information
