Refine Petname UX by bfollington · Pull Request #688 · subconsciousnetwork/subconscious

Pet name system · Issue #12 · subconsciousnetwork/noosphere

Our plan at this time is to implement a generalized pet name system that enables users to write human-readable names instead of DIDs when addressing other spheres. This is the tracking issue that c...

Petnames: A humane approach to secure, decentralized naming

Names must be human-readable in order to be widely used. Unfortunately, while DIDs and Tor .onion addresses are decentralized and globally unique, they are not human readable. How can we build user interfaces that real users might actually use? In this paper we provide an overview of petname systems, a way of mapping human readable names to cryptographically secure names, and describe changes to two user interface designs that we believe that are compatible with intuitive user expectations. We first discuss the smartphone contact list as already approximating petnames to some degree and discuss how to augment it with secure introduction. We then walk through several changes to browsers (which may be provided natively or as an extension) which add the functionality of a petname system. By utilizing petname systems we are able to collectively support individual naming definitions, community curated directories of names, as well as existing naming authorities such as certificate authorities and the domain name system, government agencies such as trademark offices, and decentralized systems such as Namecoin.

@BerserkEd_PT@masto.pt @_elena@mastodon.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al One #problem with #realnameregistration is that it can be used as an #ID for governmental services as well That is what you could call a #thecirclescenario Another problem is the #superapp In #China it became nearly impossible to exist without the #微信 #app , known as #WeChat internationally If you analyse what #AnnaZeiter said in interviews there are possibilities they want #WSocial to become a #superapp I'll write it in more detail, in the future, I promise…

Attached: 1 image #SocialMedia of #realnameregistration , oh sorry, they call it real #humans , that advertises with " #AI " #slop #wsocial is more than problematic And already has #bots crawling it's #network Now they show that they are problematic concerning #aesthetics as well & advertise with tasteless #aislop @bildoperationen@tldr.nettime.org #realnameregistration is highly dangerous & if the company that wants to have your most private data can't save there net from bots they're not very trustworthy, are they? #tech

Permissioned Data Diary 5: What’s in a Name? - Daniel's Leaflets

In this permissioned data diary, we dive deep into the URI structure for permissioned data on atproto and use it to motivate a bunch of the larger design.

Petname Tool: Enabling web site recognition using the existing SSL infrastructure

The existing WWW infrastructure already provides for authentication of web sites. Unfortunately, the advent of phishing has shown that the mainstream user interface to web site authentication is not meaningful to users. This paper proposes a new browser user interface widget, the petname tool, that integrates meaningful authentication information into the browsing workflow.
