@lukeburns : I saw your post here and was excited to hear about your potential use cases.

I initially started this project with UI in mind for collaborative data backups, but hopefully the public/private key sharing system could be generic enough that it could support any kind of public and private user-to-user identity and communication over dat. Check out this rough high-level overview I wrote our here: https://github.com/jayrbolton/dat-pki/wiki/How-it-Works. If you have any specific feature requests, ideas, etc for your use case, please post them here.

@jayrbolton your first link does point to the same document as the second one. I'm also interested in @lukeburns post findings.

dat-pki way of connecting would be nice in a mobile environment where device pair by scanning a QR code on another device. The dat project itself could function as a message exchange framework instead of file-sharing solution, to create dynamic social networks without central authority.

I created a discussion piece on dat project direction, maybe you want to have a look: https://github.com/datproject/dat/issues/824
