I just don't see what the big deal is.  You'll never meet me.  You
can't care what I look like much less what genes I have.  If you were to
know, would that make my identification any more positive?


If I give you an RSA key, that's all you need.  I'm the only one in the world
who knows the two primes in N.  That defines *me*.  Balding head or not,
height, weight, ..., even gender is all irrelevant.

I can prove I know those primes by signing something.  You can verify that
I know the primes, without learning the primes -- therefore without becoming
able to pretend to be me.

What more do you want?
