The Web of Signatures š
At first I liked āverifiable webā ā but after thinking, it sounds a bit like weāre a bunch of KYC blue checks š ā the opposite of what we should beā¦ nostr:note1f0tyyc4tvghvxlm8zjmw7e5rul7kp54w4cfmav64sn3phuddyt8sdr3khw
The Signed Internet šŖ¬
Transcribed with AI from my voice:
People have been talking about what Nostr is becoming. It's almost like the signed internet.
Or the web of signatures. Where everything is authenticated with cryptography on a person-to-person basis instead of trusting third-party certificate authorities and centralized DNS registries.
We are verifying every piece of data to make sure that it's signed by the person we expect it to be from. And clients are becoming powerful enough that they can verify at a fast rate on their own.
Don't get me wrong, the phone begins to heat up if it tries to verify tons of signatures, but as technology evolves and it becomes quicker and cheaper for personal devices to do this, there may be less and less trade-offs of going with decentralized infrastructures. And the signed web might begin to take over.
Especially if we don't want to rely on trusted third parties for verifying the authenticity of people's identitiesā¦ Let alone how they already control DNSes.
