Introducing PortaFed — cryptographic account portability for #ActivityPub
When your server shuts down, your identity and posts are gone.
PortaFed fixes this with a MigrationProof: a Merkle commitment
over your full export, signed by your ed25519 key, verifiable
by any destination server without contacting the origin.No blockchain. No registry. No core spec changes.
Spec + Rust implementation:
https://codeberg.org/portafed/portafedFeedback welcome — especially from server maintainers.

:eyes: new account portability spec dropped. We're at 3 now? :sweat_smile:

Something we need. Looks to be NLNet funded? The README looks to be AI written, it contains a lot of the confident triple-statements often found in LLM-generated content. I hope that is as far as it goes because this might be brushing up against NLNet's generative AI policy: https://nlnet.nl/foundation/policies/generativeAI/
@portafed@mastodon.social may I ask whether LLM was used in the production of this project/code?

@julian @julian@activitypub.social Yes, fair question and you deserve a direct answer.
The README and proposal documentation were drafted with AI assistance
(Claude/Anthropic) and then reviewed and edited by me. The cryptographic
design ed25519 keypairs, JCS/RFC 8785 canonicalisation, Merkle
construction, MigrationProof signing input is my own technical work.The Rust code in portafed-core implements real cryptographic primitives
and passes real tests. It is not generated boilerplate.

I can confirm that #Tuba is an excellent #Fediverse client for Linux and BSD users on #snac2. It's also great for Mastodon, #GoToSocial, etc.
