- tomrod 3y agoAn OpenPGP key could be the most stable of all identifiers out there!
- lxgr 3y agoWhat if you lose it, or the private key leaks? A public key is a pretty bad identifier by itself. The combination of a good identifier with a public key/certificate binding to it is pretty powerful, though. The US has a good public identifier (SSNs), but they are completely unauthenticated. German arguably has the opposite: Widely available e-signature capable ID cards – but they only bind to your name (and DOB).

- numpad0 3y agoThat kind of thing don't exist because it's illegal because it gets people killed and governments toppled. Privacy isn't human right for nothing.
- aaronmdjones 3y agoI'm not sure you understand Germany. They barely emerged from one of the most oppressive surveillance regimes ever created and rightly vowed to make it as difficult as possible to arrive there again; everything you've just described is taboo if not illegal. Even using a dashcam is tightly regulated.
