There has been a lot of discussion on tor-dev about integrating CONIKS<br>
into tor messenger. They seem to have that pretty much under control,<br>
but I'm wondering if it would make sense to have one public federated<br>
CONIKS service that multiple messaging services could all use. This<br>
way we have auditing code and server code for everything, together<br>
with ways to extract keys and manage accounts.<br>
<br>
Why is this an utterly terrible idea?<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Watson<br>
