Inkan enables you to revoke and replace key pairs when your private key has been lost or stolen. You can also perform periodic key rotations preemptively. You can do all this in a decentralized manner. That way Inkan gives you a permanent online identity that only you control, and that you can be confident you can keep over the long-term. For example 50 years. Inkan is open for testing and comment. Let me know if you'd like to try it out.

Looks interesting. Is there a GitHub or another way to check source code?

Oh, you already saw this. No Github page right now. Let me think about that. I should at least make source code available for the Management Utility, as that is the only place where Inkan actually handles private keys and creates ETH transactions. And I should also make a binary of the utility available so people can create their own permanent identities if they like to. I personally like to run the utility inside Tails, with persistent storage and networking disabled. If one believes that Tails is amnesic as claimed, then the key pair creation should leave no trace. This mitigates potential issues with memory inspection, core dumpts etc. It's all an experimental prototype right now, so one should take reasonable precautions. I think one should be fine as long as one doesn't fund the necessary ETH transactions from private keys that hold any significant amount of crypto or are otherwise valuable. https://tails.net/
