privacy/engineering

A privacy-engineering attribution set: people whose public work touches anonymity, secure messaging, and adversarial threat models. Designed for sensitive disclosures.

Anyone of 3 could sign.

Each public key is derived deterministically from the contributor's public SSH listing on GitHub. You can reproduce the ring root by re-deriving members locally — the math should match what's shown here.

No ghosts yet.

When ring members ship anonymous commits, they show up here with their key images. Identity stays hidden — patterns of activity do not.

This ring has no anchored ghosts yet. Once a member runs gitghost commit inside a repo using this ring, the resulting key images appear here.

Reproduce locally.

You can recreate this ring exactly. Run the snippet on the right inside any git repo, and the resulting .gitghost/ring.json will hash to the same ring root.

CLI snippet~/repo
# add yourself, then add the same members:
gitghost init "privacy/engineering"
gitghost ring add-self
gitghost ring add taviso
gitghost ring add meejah
gitghost ring add warner

# verify the resulting ring root matches:
# expected ring root: bafkrei2d63014e34a828a4ec04839c751e37c094f73d50db7db9c9bdc6

Disclosure

Public-key-derived ring. Members have not endorsed gitghost; the ring is derived from their public SSH keys.
