- [Peergos](../protocols/peergos.md) - Peergos users are identified by unique usernames linked to public keys. The uniqueness of usernames is ensured through a global append-only log for [public key to username](https://book.peergos.org/architecture/pki.html) mappings that is mirrored on every node in the Peergos system. Names are taken on a first come first served basis. Currently, a single server determines the canonical state of this log, and other nodes sync to it. Long-term considerations include decentralizing the name server through a blockchain architecture. Peergos allows [multi-device login](https://book.peergos.org/features/multi.html) through a password-based interface. A user's private keys are derived every time they log in using their username, password and a published salt.

- [Ssb](../protocols/ssb.md) - Ssb user identities are cryptographic keypairs, stored locally. Multi-device login is not possible because keys are stored on user devices. Users can pick a human-readable nickname that is associated with their key, but nicknames are not unique because there is no global registry.

SSB does have [rooms](https://ssb-ngi-pointer.github.io/rooms2/) which allow for both easy discovery users identity and tunneling traffic between peers providing users with username.domain.room which is visible through the app and web.
