This article is about the security-enhancing software naming systems. For the shorter or diminutive form of a word or given name, see Hypocorism. For names of pet animals, see Personal name § Non-human personal names.
Petname systems are naming systems that claim to possess all three naming properties of Zooko's triangle - global, secure, and memorable.[1] Software that uses such a system can satisfy all three requirements. Such systems can be used to enhance security, such as preventing phishing attacks.[2]
Unlike traditional identity systems, which focus on the service provider, Petname systems are decentralized and designed to facilitate the needs of the enduser as they interact with multiple services.[3][4]
