Re: "How does one verify someone's identity is what they claim to be?"
Client certificates and TOFU are pretty much pointless as far as security or authentication goes (although makes it a tiny bit easier to track a session for a game, or lock up some resource only you yourself can see).

How does one verify someone's identity is what they claim to be? — Basically, if someone else would make new identity after my name, how one could know it's not, well, me? Like for PGP there is keyoxide. [https link] Is there something similar for geminispace? I assume one could add a fingerprint of their identity to their own site?
