@aelaraji@aelaraji.com how would that work exactly? Does that mean then that every user is required to have a cox side profile? Who maintains cox site? Is it centralized or decentralized can be relied upon?
@prologic@twtxt.net wellā¦
how would that work exactly?
To my limited knowledge, Keyoxide is an open source project offering different tools for verifying oneās online persona(s). Thatās done by either A) creating an Ariande Profile using the web interface, a CLI. or B) Just using your GPG key. Either way, you add in Identity claims to your different profiles, links and whatnot, and finally advertise your profile ā¦ Then there is a second set of Mobile/Web clients and CLI your correspondents can use to check your identity claims. I think of them like the front-ends of GPG Keyservers (which keyoxide leverages for verification when you opt for the GPG Key method), where you verify profiles using links, Key IDs and Fingerprintsā¦
Who maintains cox site? Is it centralized or decentralized can be relied upon?
- Maintainers? Definitely not me, but hereās their Git stuff and OpenCollective page ā¦
- Both ASP and Keyoxide Webtools can be self-hosted. I donāt see a central authority hereā¦ + As mentioned on their FAQ page the whole process can be done manually, so you donāt have to relay on any one/thing if you donāt want to, the whole thing is just another tool for convenience (with a bit of eye candy).
Does that mean then that every user is required to have a cox side profile?
Nop. But it looks like a nice option to prove that Iām the same person to whom that may concern if I ever change my Twtxt URL, host/join a yarn pod or if I reach out on other platforms to someone Iāve met in her. Otherwise Iām just happy exchanging GPG keys or confirm the change IRL at a coffee shop or something. š
@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks! I tried š
