People can do this with a pseudonym -- there are many pseudonymous
OpenPGP user IDs in the existing WoT. But not everyone will use a
pseudonym. If you're concerned that a pseudonym might be too
identifiable, consider that the key's fingerprint itself is unique
and
identifiable. Better to lay claim to a persistent identity that
allows
re-keying. If you want to ditch your pseudonym, that's just as
easy as
ditching a key (easier, in fact)
We might also want to consider that people maintain different means of
contact for different social contexts, whether that is separate email
addresses or the social network segregation that currently exists
between Facebook, LinkedIn, and Online dating sites. Whatever app we
build for this phone handshake should have some mechanism for letting
people maintain different identities and specify which one they are
generating a QR code for at any given moment.
I would /strongly/ suggest that we use something like a color scheme
Very intersting thread annoymity versus identity, i was asked
a few weeks before if we would not help implementing the system we work
on into their filesharing system and i try to explain one of the
developers , that
when i want to download/share a possibly illegal movie or piece of
software i dont want to be
peered or "friend/buddy" of someone,its not that i dont like him :) i
just want the greatest possible annonymity.
I think one reason why IRC for example become and is still so
popular , because you meet in a "room" so you dont know
the persons ,and you dont need to add them to exchange conversations ,
same like on a mailing list, you might even not interested
in take part of the conversation, you just wanna "hangout" there and
see what people post, their opinions, discusions , what interest they
have
and take the decision whitch person/identity you want to "add" to
your personal contacts later.
So what i am trying to say is multiple-identitys for different
purposes and different kind of contacts would be a keysolution.
I dont wanna hijack the thread but would zeroconfiguration http://zeroconf.org/
service discovery with http://www.dns-sd.org not usefull in any
case of sharing publishing a specific "service" on a freedombox ?
Wide area bonjour allows sharing of any service running on a specitic
machine over the internet.
A buddy works on https://github.com/andrewtj/dnsxd an authoritative
DNS server, whitch use DNS Long Lived Queries and DNS Update Leases.
Another interresting project Unmanaged Internet Architecture - http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/uia/
, is also wide area bonjour based IMHO .
I am interested what you think.
