* Third, they could look for information leaks at the application layer. For example they could try to introduce `A` to `B`, and see if the protocol behaves differently than it would if `A` and `B` were on different devices. If we supported multiple identities, we'd have to be very careful to avoid any leaks like this in our application-layer code.

Long answer: Allowing the same account to be used on more than one device is a hard problem to solve in delay tolerant p2p networks. The difficult part is how to reconcile conflicting actions performed on different devices such as accepting an invitation on one device and declining it on another.
