> IP addresses can break, without warning, and it's outside of your device's control. Keys, however, are created & controlled by you.
This doesn't really make a lot of sense. Assuming this is true, its equally likely to be my gateway, or BGP peer IP that breaks. How Iroh offers anything in this scenario is beyond me.
>The power of that key can't be overstated. We use it to secure the connection. And because all data that comes from the connection is secured by that key, we can build up from that same key into identity, permissions, and attribution. We can also use that same key as an address we can dial, no matter where it is in the world. It turns the internet into a secure localhost.
This is a way better use case. This should be the headline.
Yeah, I agree, I had a hard time understanding what it is, because they wanted to define it in relation to IP, but this is not an IP replacement, this is just a different thing. Like a secure by design quic, or something, if I understand it correctly.
