What is your vision? How much of the mapping data can be encrypted and
how much information about the mapping owner can be hidden from the
mapping system operator? The ID cannot be encrypted as it is used as
retrieval key. When we want to make sure that only rightful owners of
IDs can register, the mapping system provider needs to authenticate the
mapping owner. Can you elaborate the problem you are tackling and the
solution in more detail?
