Right now, Fediverse IDs resolve to HTTPS URLs.
For example, the Fediverse ID:

@reiver@mastodon.social

Resolves to HTTPS URL:

https;//mastodon·social/users/reiver

...

If we wanted cryptographic public-keys to serve as a basis of Identity on the Fediverse, then —

We would (similarly) also need a Fediverse ID to resolve to one or more cryptographic public-keys

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/115945290105913697

The resolving of a Fediverse ID to one or more cryptographic public-keys could happen via the activity-file for the user.

A JSON-LD namespace (separate from ActivityPub) could put the cryptographic public-keys into the activity-file.

But, I think we would need more information than what the 2 current methods for including cryptographic public-keys currently support.
