[Sigsum-general] Re: On the naming of Sigsum services

I think that Sigsum services need at least the following attributes, each of them unique to an instance:

• an identity, typically a hash of a signing key
• an internet address, typically a URL
• a name useful for humans

Would it make sense to encourage a naming scheme that include the key?

I'm thinking a Sigsum policy file like this:

log https://stable-2024-seasalp-0ec7e16843119b120377a73913ac6acbc2d03d82432e2c36... witness https://witness-stable-2024-stockholm-28c92a5a3a054d317c86fc2eeb6a7ab2054d62...

Use base32 to compress the key part if size is a factor.
