## Wopisanje

Virtual Public Squares are digital spaces for open communication. Publishers establish
identities, preferably on their own websites, and use those identities to attach
verifiable provenance to content with cryptographic signatures. The signed content
is broadcast into one or more Virtual Public Squares. Once signed and broadcast,
the content becomes public and portable.

The content, with provenance, may move from one Virtual Public Square to another,
may be indexed and made searchable, and may be displayed to readers in feeds, curated
lists, or search results. Every time a Virtual Public Square displays content, the
publisher’s cryptographic signature is attached to that content and can be verified.

In the event that any Virtual Public Square blocks content from a publisher, that
publisher remains free to broadcast that content to any other Virtual Public Square.

Similarly, publishers are free to set up their own Virtual Public Squares and ingest
the content from existing Virtual Public Squares. In this fashion, Virtual Public
Squares impose practical disincentives to censorship without infringing on the rights
of speech or association of any of the participants.

The primary use of Virtual Public Square technology is to acquire content from specified
publishers without third party interference. This will often appear in the format
of a news feed. The first commercial use of Virtual Public Square data is to populate
widgets on websites containing curated content from a set of publishers that seek
to cross-promote each other to keep readers engaged and maximize audience attention.

### Required PHP Extensions

The following PHP extensions are required to update and delete DIDs with an API 
call:

 * json
 * mbstring
 * openssl

 * [[
 * DID column show in the user management table
 * [[
 * DID upload modal

### What are Decentralized IDentities (DIDs)?

Decentalized IDentities are files that contain identifying information and public
keys used to encrypt or sign tokens or content. Virtual Public Squares use the W3C
Decentralized IDentity standard to attach provenance to content for distribution.
Specifically, Virtual Public Squares use the `did:psqr` method.

Further information on the standards is available at https://vpsqr.com

### How do I create a did:psqr identity?

You can generate DID:PSQR docs using the NodeJS command „psqr“ (https://www.npmjs.
com/package/psqr).
 Install „psqr“ with the command

    ```
    npm i -g psqr
    ```

Then run

    ```
    psqr identity:create did:psqr:{domain}/author/{name} --name="Full Name"
    ```

The identity and public keys are visible with this command

    ```
    psqr identity did:psqr:{domain}/author/{name} --all --verbose
    ```

Save the `didDoc` section as a JSON file.

Note that your private keys are stored in your home directory.

### How do I upload an identity document?

Log in as an Admin and navigate to the user settings page.

For each user that doesn’t have an identity document associated with them yet there
should be an „Upload“ button in the „DID“ column. („DID“ means Decentralized IDentity.)

Click the upload button and a modal dialog appears to select a file from your computer.

Selection the appropriate json file and then click „Upload“ in the modal.

If there are any issues with the identity, like it is invalid or for a different
person, a red alert section is displayed describing the issue. You can select another
document and attempt it again.

### Can Virtual Public Square Content be Deleted?

Virtual Public Squares support two levels of content deletion – soft and hard deletes.
Soft deletes are requested, and hard deletes are strongly recommended, typically
for legal reasons. Those operating Virtual Public Squares are expected to delete
any copies of content in either delete list.

The internet is forever, though, and it is not possible to ensure that every copy
of a portable file has been deleted. Provenance travels with the content, and is
thus also potentially preserved by someone, somewhere.

This plugin is unique in that it allows users to create and manage self-owned identities
right on their WordPress blog. The identity can then be used to sign content on 
the blog, as we do with EncycloShare.
