Fir some time I worked on this issue and you’re spot on.
Although it’s not simple.
A signed photo tells you who created / took the photo but nothing else.
In the example above, the photographer would need to attach Odell’s and Vitalik’s signatures to the photo as well to provide authenticity through their approval.
It’s going to be a crazy world.
You are correct, anyone can sign anything. Early solutions will look more like an attestation and reputation model. Trust would be built around who created or endorsed the image rather than technical properties of the image itself.
What types of things were you working on? Copyright and IP? Fraud?
I was exploring how to use Nostr to add into the current cell phone environment knowledge that the person I'm talking with is indeed my son.
Oh interesting, so exploring audio signatures? combined with other methods?
First step I considered was in-device audio signatures or face recognition to sign the call request. This doesn't protect against all scenarios but it already solves a large percentage of scams currently out there.
Mass adoption requires super simple experience, like the padlock on your web browser that tells you that you're connected to the real primal.net.
