Hi freenet developers,

Opennet is still alive and people want it. The theory behind darknet is,
that you can trust your friends (or at least you know, that your friends
are not automated bots) and add them in freenet. In opennet you dont
have to know people in real life. In opennet, an attacker can start
multiple nodes and try to observe the users. I am sure, this can be solved.

I am working on open-ident, which will be a software, which users can
use to identify each other. Normally, users identify each other with
gpg-keys, passwords or whatever. But i want to create a identification
system that could be used like a passport. People then can have
electronic *unique* identities. This can be done without trusting a
central organisation or server.

In the "normal" world, people use the governments passports to create
unique identities. But the past has shown, that the bad guys are able to
fake passwords. So we need a more secure identify-system. I suggest
open-ident.

Open-Ident could be useful for securing up opennet. Opennet can use
open-ident to make sure, that all opennet users are really different
real-life-persons. When you then add tunnelling, then you have very very
strong security!!!


This is a shortened description how open-ident will work:
A users connects to an untrusted central server and requests for an
assurer-contact. The user physically goes to several (randomly assigned)
assurers and gives his fingerprint- and/or iris-scan to them. Then the
fingerprint-data is signed and send back to the server. After that, the
user gets a certificate, which proves, that his public key is a unique
real-life-person on that server.

Currently, i try to implement this with the use of opentransactions. But
i am still not 100% sure if this is the best way. Maybe a stanalone app
would be better... It initially looked so easy because of their
ready-to-use blinded-token-coins which i could use in later steps to
anonymize the hole thing...

Open-ident will not only be interesting for anonymizing systems, but
also for market platforms similar to ebay,... Because people can not
login twice on one market
