-<h3>Nym Management</h3>
-<p>
-
-Nyms (short for pseudonym) provide for reputation-enhanced anonymity.
-Nyms are generally signed by the private key of an asymmetric key pair,
-though in certain usually short-lived cases may simply be identified by a
-locally unique hash or pseudo-random number.
-
-</p><p>
-
-The OpenPrivacy system employs nyms as part of a trustable and secure
-anonymous demographic marketplace. Agents within the OpenPrivacy system
-must be able to "understand" the semantics of nyms to enable useful
-transactional operations including:
-
-<ul>
- <li>creation - agents will create nyms for various operations they may
- want to be temporarily or permanently disassociated from themselves
- <li>authentication - is this nym owned or created by a known source?
- <li>reputation query - what do we know about this nym, and from whom?
- <li>reputation attachment - adding new or modifying existing reputation
- capital to an entity
- <li>association - agents can associate groups of data from the same nym,
- or potentially groups of nyms created by the same agent
- <li>lifetime - when was this nym created? has this nym expired?
-</ul>
