> Identity-based Security: Relying on network identifiers to achieve security is no longer sufficient, both the sending and receiving services must be able to authenticate each other based on identities instead of a network identifier.
Kinda semi-offtopic but I am curious to know if anyone has used identity part of a WireGuard setup for this purpose.
So say you have a bunch of machines all connected in a WireGuard VPN. And then instead of your application knowing host names or IP addresses as the primary identifier of other nodes, your application refers to other nodes by their WireGuard public key?
I use WireGuard but haven’t tried anything like that. Don’t know if it would be possible or sensible. Just thinking and wondering.
