Are there any planned proofs for GPG and Blockstack IDs? One could create i.e. a sub uid with a claim “Verifying that …” and push that on a public keyserver.

Yes we are building this into the Blockstack dashboard.

@vsund we’re also working on adding support for SSH keys :smiley:

Are these SSH keys the public keys of a person, or the public key of a host? (Would be both very cool)

I could think of a solution like Monkeysphere where SSH could tell if the host’s public key is authenticated by getting fingerprints for a given hostname out of an id from a person/organisation (id has multiple hosts, hosts have multiple keys (different algorithms); id has (the person’s) public ssh keys).

SSH key support was added yesterday! https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-browser/commit/ac98bf9e7a1dde567bc4421b25220ff311e91d84

You can add any ssh keys you control and are able to sign a proof for.

They’re an attestation that the person who has access to the Blockstack ID also has access to the private ssh key.
