If no client certificate is presented, the server MUST reject the

The server and client certificates are intended to identify the
individual users involved.
What if the server operator wants to operate an anonymous chat?
Nothing prevents you from generating a one-time cert, having multiple
pseudonymous certs corresponding to various assumed identities, etc
etc. With client certs we can have both authentication and
pseudonymity.
Exactly. In the htalkat implementation, you select an identity (or create a new one) by using the -d option or HTALKAT_DIR environment variable.
It's also easy to run as a tor hidden service, for additional anonymity.-------------- next part --------------A non-text attachment was scrubbed...Name: signature.ascType: application/pgp-signatureSize: 195 bytesDesc: not availableURL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20211003/bd60bd7d/attachment.sig>
