An 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).
