      Yes, but it’s not Sybil resistant. Anyone can make as many PGP Keys as they want.

      What is really needed is the ability to sign messages proving:

      • that I am a specific person (“I am John Smith”)

Governments might be able to set something like this up, but that comes with a lot of privacy concerns. There are other projects like WorldCoin, Idena, and Proof of Humanity that attempt to do this in a decentralized way, but they’ve all had issues with adoption
