"key authentication" and relation to claimchain/coniks?

[hpk42]

as @hhalpin rightfully noted yesterday, we need to change terms to better match crypto language.

key authentication (as opposed to key verification) is probably what we actually want to talk about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_authentication

I used "key verification" because that's how Coniks describes itself in the first sentence of their paper. How does "key verification" relate to "key authentication"? cc @carmelatroncoso @gdanezis

Note that on the UX side we might stick to "verified" in any case, as that ties into the "verified" status of twitter: https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/twitter-verified-accounts
