It’s 2023 and you’re designing a decentralised system based on public-key cryptography where a person’s identity(ies) are their public key(s).

@kristof@pleroma.marussy.com Oh thank you so much for that link, it’s so helpful (I love his articles; should make it a habit to check there first) :)

@aral he’s also on the Fediverse and is working on an encryption system for DMs: https://soatok.blog/2022/11/22/towards-end-to-end-encryption-for-direct-messages-in-the-fediverse/ which looks a bit related to what you’re doing (although, obviously, building upon ActivityPub brings vastly different technical constraints)

@kristof@pleroma.marussy.com Ah, just tracked down his Mastodon handle only to realise I was already following him :)

And yeah, vastly different… and more complex. But I’m glad he’s on it :)
