Nostr Web Client

btw there are components to this digital id thing where nostr identities fail miserably. cyber security, recovery, key rotation, etc... people shitting on "digital id" as a general concept have no clue wtf they are talking about.

too bad m$ did the usual m$ thing with ion, that cost us a decade in did progress.

I don't want an internet digital id to track me in meatspace. I have many digital identities online and they must stay separate and anon.

like i said, a real digital id could prove that you are a unique natural person, of age, and from a certain nationality if that is required, to any service without the ability for them to link it to other accounts.

you are shitting on the solution to a whole bunch of nasty privacy invasions.

And how a normie is supposed to safeguard such an id from hacks? RFID under the skin?

passive RFID tags don't have the compute capacity for stuff like this. they usually emit plain text strings with absolutely no security.

I know. That was sarcasm. How to make sure that the electronic id is actually being used by the authorized person?

you need a secure enclave and a private keyring. i assume most would use their phone with maybe an nfc device with secure element as backup. locked by pin / biometrics.
