You should look into existing systems that use a similar model, notably
CACert:

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...
