EMBASSY is a privacy solution, not a privacy problem. This is a way that I have tried to think about it. I hope it is more or less accurate. EMBASSY is good for my privacy as a user of electronic commerce and a consumer of digital things. It can identify me to the entity on the other side of a transaction as a "trusted client" --- and it can leave it at that. It can say, in a virtual sense: "You can trust this guy. He purchases licenses to use intellectual property. He has bona fides. He maintains regular sureties. And he has met your specified prerequisites to engage in this transaction." EMBASSY and its WaveNet know these things about me. I can regulate the degree to which they hold these things as confidential. I know why I am trusted. EMBASSY and its WaveNet know why I am trusted. But the entity on the other side of the transaction does not need to know WHY I am trusted. It only needs to know THAT I am trusted. And EMBASSY vouches for that. Thoughts? Best wishes.
