Most people use pseudo identities on Nostr. But Nostr is such a powerful technology, I’d love to see it used in mainstream systems but many such systems required actual identities for background checks etc.

How could we enable real profiles on the network without leaking all the public information?

Even if we tried to do such a thing with pseudo identities, if they’re used everywhere in real life, they’ll very soon make it obvious/inferable what the real identity of a pseudonym is.

Could we have multisig encrypted profiles somehow such that only yourself and the other party can decrypt your data?

This thought process originated from brainstorming how I could propose to my corporate fiat mine to adapt their products to support Nostr too. But I don’t think they’d want to work with pseudonymous clients.
