Let's start #IETF115 proper (after the hackathon this week-end). Fist, the GAIA group (universal Internet connectivity).Jared Mauch presents how he got connectivity in his own house in the USA... where it is more difficult than it seems.

The maps of the area were not even correct. Even the FCC (the regulator) maps.Time to indicate cables in #OpenStreetMap :-)

Now, discussion at #IETF115 (GAIA group) about the development of a definition of neutrality for exchange points. Most exchange points claim to be neutral. But what does it really mean? https://neutral-inter.net/

Another Research Group (not an #IETF Working Group), DIN, Decentralized Internet, at #IETF115. Blockchain, here we come :-)

Everything starts with terminology: Mark McFadden on the terminology of centralisation. (Everyone is against centralisation / consolidation but it does not mean the same thing for every one. There is the economic consolidation, traffic consolidation (flattening of the Internet), and several others...

Now, @jens about Web centralisation at #IETF115. For instance, even if the Web is decentralised, authentication is often not ("Connect with Google"). We need decentralised auth . (cryptography?)Also, HTTP as a protocol as some features that make decentralisation difficult. POST is a poor UPDATE, too tied to the representation of the data.

@shane_kerr Actually, I was the only one mentioning it during the meeting. But I remember previous DINrg meetings where routing-over-blockchain was discussed.

@bortzmeyer @jens It seems that mechanisms based on "Zero-knowledge proof" are very promising, to allow authentication without any server ever getting hold on our personal data.https://keyless.io/blog/post/how-keyless-uses-zero-knowledge-proofs-to-protect-your-biometric-data#privacy #surveillancecapitalism #zeroknowledgeproof

@ijatz_La_Hojita @jens As I said at the mike, the problem with cryptography-based authentication is that most users will have trouble managing the private key (and there is no recourse).

@shane_kerr @bortzmeyer Mmhhh, would the concept of "blockchain" be a blasphemy? All the blockchain devs I know are fierce FOSS builders and promoters, and usually not "blockchain maximalists". We could try to approach that as a technology that, in some cases, can fit our needs 🙂.

@ijatz_La_Hojita @shane_kerr I agree. It is a cool technology and, for some use cases it is useful. But it is often sold as solving every problem ("Web3").

@bortzmeyer @ijatz_La_Hojita The thing is, I can't disagree with that whatsoever. But - and this isn't punting on that, but rather raising this as an open issue - this is to some degree a UX issue, not a technical one.I don't think from a tech perspective it's right to state that getting the UX right is impossible. Take "paper keys", for example. They're a way of making such things approachable. Not the final word, I'm sure, but a direction.

@bortzmeyer It reminds me the "dPoS", delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, that several blockchain based social networks run on ("Hive", for instance). We vote to choose the nodes that are in charge of the transactions.

@bortzmeyer IMO all this does is multiply identity assurance problems by authorization problems. I remember arguments about Idemix and “Mandantenfähigkeit” more than a decade ago… Does it turn out that there was a simple technical solution all along? ;^,
