Cryptographic public-keys are one way that one can have an identity (on the Fediverse, and elsewhere) while also having privacy — through a pseudonymous identity.
Yes, we have Fediverse IDs such as:

But a (non-delegated) public-key can function as a PORTABLE form of identity on the Fediverse.

Regarding:
"Would it be human-readable?"
A public-key itself wouldn't typically be human-legible / human-readable, but —
№1:
You can have a representation of the public-key that is user-friendly, and —
№2:
You can (in a way) "attach" data to it that makes it (in a sense) human-readable/ human-readable.
Thanks :)
