Hi,
I am working on a decentralized digital identity management system, and I would like to ask for a wider community feedback.
In my opinion one of the biggest issues with decentralized identity management systems is the problem of the long lived private key loss or compromise.
I am designing a system based on an assumption that an average person is totally capable of memorizing a 128-bit cryptographic key. I made a mnemonic system for this exact purpose: https://github.com/dmaevsky/brainvault
If this really works as well as I feel it would, it might open doors to some interesting cryptographic schemes for efficient long term identify management.
While it's perhaps more about linguistics and neurobiology than cryptography, I would really appreciate your feedback on this bit before I start building a cryptographic system around it.
Best year end holidays to everyone )
