Also, how do you ensure trust in the assurers? You should look into existing systems that use a similar model, notably CACert: > http://www.cacert.org/ yes, the fact of participation will be public because of the biometric ID database. On a higher level the used identity can be anonymized. Every person has an unique identity per context. (one identity for shopping, one for forums, one for another service,..) but the identity can not be traced back to the biometry data. Cacert is a nice project, but it uses governmental names. On cacert, an user can go to an assurer whoever he likes. So if an bad guy finds 20 bad assurer, he can cheat. on open-ident the user has to go to specific assures, which are randomly choosen from the server. (which can be dezentralized) How can we trust assurers? We cant. But we could say, that most of them are ok. So, in the beginning of the system, there could be a meeting with all assures who assure each other. These persons are different persons and are public. It may be easy to find 10 bad assures. but it takes too long time to get 10 bad assurers, if the server assigns them randomly to you. The system would be more complicated and time consuming than cacert, but much more secure and no need to trust anyone. anyway i will have a closer look to cacert, to make sure, oppinion to them is not wrong or too easy. For me, personally, it does not matter if only 100 users in the world will use this. I will use it, even when it is only used by 10 persons. For now, it will not too relevant for freenet, as it is still a far way. But i just wanted to tell about it... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRnkwCAAoJEFCTkZ2uNzgr62AH+gMEiIXgBmkcj49C27FWP6if 8JkPKrCNbXtX4uoXy8EEK1JB8bMcEVVTZHjeddJSxkkNyEuMm2qL0puE23vscqFg Ogr82VmTOKv4LokFjnDVkfu5ceOpg5MXfKYGF6hCQxNUHmvBoJPTruWS2/M9uE/B pzEirD+bXkaikAYYiftW1oeMOCU41dUJgdWHBso9C9jsu88mAXLT7eegqNcFhaM0 Mvgx/b/fc9UiJoD7UnaFm0gI42bYj7Ys6M9HGEacLDBRqrMoTIj5V3mTr2/5RHrp 8WvjqHcB71XD965S5Yksrsk23VZKj0+0c2+/IZnC4LlzTPWXsZMOkA0Ke0QellA= =KiF9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
