Each of these ideas could be improved upon greatly with new experiments and technical progress. But to Ditto, user freedom matters the most, so we’re focusing on non-custodial solution. Even though there are security risks to copying around keys, the onus is on the user. The user may fall victim to a targeted attack (or make a stupid mistake), whereas custodial servers have the ability to wipe out entire demographics of users at once. Therefore we believe that custodial solutions are actually less secure than users copying around keys. Users must take precautions about which apps to trust with their private key until we improve upon the area to make it more secure (likely with better support of browser extensions, OS key management, and more).

This highlights next efforts in overall sovereignty infrastructure development:

• Browser extensions (mobile and desktop)
• OS key management
