Using a Temporary Identity in Arnacon

If you're using a modern banking application, you've probably seen the option to create a virtual card - either a one-time card or a reusable one - with the ability to set a spending limit for a specific period. Getting the card takes just a few seconds. I personally use this feature whenever I need to pay a new supplier. This way, I can control, limit, or even delete the specific card, and it will only affect my transactions with that particular supplier.
We’ve implemented a similar concept in Arnacon. Users can generate a temporary identity (similar to a temporary phone number). This identity is valid for up to one month and can be used to make calls or send messages to other Arnacon users.
The purpose of this temporary identity is to enable communication with short-term service providers. Once the interaction is complete, the identity can be deleted.
Temporary identities are ideal for any situation where short-term communication is needed. Selling a car? Renting a store? Ordering wood from a local warehouse? There’s no need to use your personal phone number or standard identity - just use a temporary identity instead.
