I read through a few pages and didn't get the most important question I have answered. How does this system avoid my identity being the private key itself, a thing which can be taken away?
- regnull 5y agoYour identity is your private key. It can't be taken away in a way how your Google account can be just disabled one day. We also have a way to retain control if your private key gets compromised - you can have a parent key, which can then be used to disable your compromised key and re-assign your name to another key. Since you never use your parent key (presumably kept in a safe offline place), it gives you some degree of protection.
