Recovery Use Case

Full Title or Meme

How Recovery can be a good place (Eutopia) or a bad place (Dystopia) for a user.

Context

• The context of recovery is important in Identity Management. Is the subject Identifier Recover or Key (Credential) Recovery?
• An Identifier is a string that is used to bind together a collection of attributes that apply to an Entity (named object).

Preconditions

• This set of use case is deliberately limited to Self-issued Identifiers as that is where the distinction between a good and bad User Experience is most notable.

Scenarios

Eutopian Case

• This is from a deliberate spelling as Eutopia (good place) rather than the more common spelling Utopia (no place).

Dystopian Case

• Bit coin has lost approximate 20% of all coins to loss to control of the private key. See the wiki page for a full explanation.
