This was essentially the intent behind the .tel tld—using dns as an identity metadata database. Circa 2008, they did a bunch of podcasts and interviews about uses for the domains, like encryptions schemes for secure messages using keys posted to an individual’s .tel.
- vidarh 4y agoI interviewed with .tel around then, and declined an offer after it was clear their plans were wildly unrealistic. The "identity metadata" bit had already been pushed by multiple registrars for years at that point, as it doesn't require the cooperation of a registry to allow it, and largely gotten abandoned because of lack of user interest.
