Most decentralized applications share everything publicly by default. This default assumption, however, can risk limiting use cases as well as user trust in the application (thereby also reducing adoption). The patterns in this category help build trust with the application by providing methods for users to decide who sees what, and when.
Patterns
- QR Code Verification — Securely verify or transfer information between two peers.
- Paper Keys — Accessible verification, backup, and sharing
- Secret Sharing — Backup your keys and other secrets with your trusted peers.
- Standards Marker — Quickly find and open files that are related to your application.
- Visual Hash — Quickly differentiate between two users or pieces of content.
- Whisper Links — Share resources quickly between two trusted users.
