Hi everyone.
I work on cryptography, specially in non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs.
The TLDR of the field, is that prover, is capable of demonstrating to a verifier that a certain statement is correct without revealing any private or sensitive data(ie. I know the 2 private keys of two different emails (hence I own the emails) and one is re-directed or aliased to another).
On that line, aliases are really nice. I indeed use SimpleLogin for absolutely all my accounts as well as to give an email to strangers.
One of the main risks I see in using this, is the following:
A solution to that, could be to be the following:
On that way, even after being without service, I can still prove ownership of an alias.
This also comes-in-handy when I want to prove statements about my alias + my original email together. ie. (I have an account on twitter linked to my real email AND I have an account on GitHub linked to my alias and I'm the owner of both).
Is that something that sounds interesting? I think it can definitely be useful when you want to prove things about alias ownership without revealing any private data related to it or to you and still convince a verifier about it.
