This session will be a brief introduction to the world of names and nyms-- pseudonyms, polynyms, anonyms, and more! We'll cover some fundamentals of how names work and why, and then explore the challenges we're encountering as we try to bring name-related systems into technology. We'll also take a look at the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, a US-government group tasked with solving many of today's challenges, and see how they are doing.

After that, we'll brainstorm on situations when a nym is *not* acceptable, and how we might work around those times.
