- * Egos in GNUnet are ECDSA keys. You assume an ego by using (signing
- * with) a particular private key. As GNUnet users are expected to
- * have many egos, we need an identity service to allow users to
- * manage their egos. The identity service manages the egos (private
- * keys) of the local user; it does NOT manage egos of other users
- * (public keys). For giving names to other users and manage their
- * public keys securely, we use GNS.
