much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I’m curious. What would make a different number more secure than a SSN?
SSN's main issues are that it's hard to change, and it's predictable. If they know your date of birth and where you were born then they can reliably determine your SSN. And once your SSN is out, it's very difficult to change unless your identity was already stolen.
I have no idea why you just asking a question got down voted.
Makes sense. Even just being able to easily change it on your own would go a long way. I have a hard time seeing public key cryptography really catching on for something like this, but maybe it will.
I love your username
Thanks! Lol
Because it would be a private key associated with a public key
You wouldn't use a number, you would use something closer to a yubikey/passkey.
