Digital Custody Notebooks

The Private Key

A private key as technical and symbolic object: signature, identity, power, secret, delegation and inheritance.

A private key does not open a door: it signs a world.

The Private Key is the notebook closest to Technological Mythology. A private key does not simply open a door: it allows signing, moving, authorizing, proving and losing. It is a technical object with cultural consequences.

The volume works on the difference between password and cryptographic power. A password can be changed, recovered or reset inside a system. A private key can be the system. That is why it must be thought together with identity, delegation, backup and inheritance.

for whom
