Perhaps not practical, but I could see this as one actually useful example of how a blockchain-style distributed ledger could be used. Have two accounts, one posts the binaries, another posts the checksums. That way one account breach doesn't compromise the whole thing, and the ledger could prove the history, etc.
- tomtomtom777 7y agoAgreed. There could be better solutions than the current reliance on X.509 certificates and TLS, for example a blockchain solution like you propose. But the fact that these solutions do not exist or at least aren't commonplace, makes the criticism to Oya in this regard rather awkward. They are doing what everybody does for their downloads: Relying on the certificate chain.
