The City of Osmio: Bringing Governance and Authenticity to the Digital World.
In the past, people in a community of a few hundred people knew each other. They knew someone who could vouch for a stranger. People were Authentic! They were who they claimed to be. Those days are long gone, and that’s unfortunate. We now live in a world where people don’t even know the person living next door to them.
Authenticity did not even need a name in the old days. It was expected of everyone to be Authentic. In our internet world of seven billion people, authenticity is dying in specular fashion. That allows bad actors with false or hidden identities to cause havoc and mayhem.
Think of what has been happening with the dark web and block chain. While they have some positive sides to them, malicious people and criminals have taken advantage of the anonymity they provide to cause mayhem.
In our internet world today, we never know who is responsible for things and events. That’s a growing and crippling hole in the fabric of our online lives, where accountability should be.
Authenticity can repair that hole by bring back accountability.
New Internet Infrastructure
Authenticity is the linking of digital identities to real people in a way that preserves privacy but also allows for accountability if needed.
Take for instance the system of vehicle licensing. While vehicles are on the road, they have license plates. These plate do not reveal the identities of the drivers or owners of the vehicles while they are on the road. However, they can be used to reveal the identities to hold these people accountable for any illegalities they might commit while on the road.
While that might sound so obvious and elementary, it requires meticulous attention to a new way of doing things to make it work.
Hackers and crooks never get tired. They are always coming up with new ways of attacking and remaining anonymous. Instead of always being a race with criminals and crooks in finding ways to gain unauthorized access to systems, we should think of a new way of doing things.
We need new internet infrastructure. On the surface, it might look like just digital identities are connected to real people. From that perspective, it is easy to wonder; What difference does it make?
However, under the surface there is buzzing hive of support.
We are talking of governance. Governance by the city of Osmio.
The City of Osmio
What’s this city of Osmio that we keep talking about?
The city of Osmio is a worldwide population of residents like you and me, who are interested in a seeing a new way of doing things. It is a city of residents who yearn for new internet infrastructure that ensures everyone is accountable for their actions online.
Residents of the city of Osmio have to be enrolled with digitally reliable identities and managed by Osmio’s volunteer commissions. Governance by the city of Osmio has to be supported by technology. That technology is none other than PKI.
PKI is a brilliant mathematic invention from decade ago. PKI will provide a rock solid link between digital identities and real people.
People + Governance + Technology = Authenticity

The city of Osmio is at the very foundation of authenticity and it will bring security, accountability, and privacy.
It time we stopped to the things the same way and expecting different results. The city of Osmio will enable public authority and oversight over identities. That authority will ensure people are who they claim they are. If those claims cannot be substantiated within the city of Osmio, then they can’t be trusted.
