Back in June I wrote about an exciting confluence of digital auth tech:

(1) The commodification of #OIDC infrastructure, (2) the emergence of #FedCM, (3) and the compatibility of both with #indieauth .

In short, it is now easier than ever to log into web applications using your own website as an identity provider. Or at least, it would be, if your favorite web apps supported these agency-enhancing technologies.

    “I” seem to require? No. I’m deferring to the cypherpunk manifesto which rings true over and over again.

    IMO, anonymity should be able to be switched on and off at will by the user. Selective disclosure using homomorphic encryption coupled with digital identity can achieve both, IMO.

    In particular, businesses require anonymity in much of their chain of custody…and I think that’s fair.
