It seems inevitable that we will need some kind of PKE in order to verify identities. My ideal system is using the CAC protocol from the DoD at each of the 50 DMVs in the US to issue identification. I don’t think this form of state-issued PKE should be required for getting online but I would prefer interacting with people in an environment where they were needed to participate. Of course anonymous forums should be allowed but I don’t want anonymity in every interaction… …especially over the next few years as an increasing number of actors will be non-human…
