Cool concept but totally overblown need.
If the usage for api signing is to verify that leaked private messages are legit then I don't think we should have such tech in place.
If anyone has any more legitimate use cases that auth does not account for I would love to hear.
- edent 7y agoHere are a few that I considered including in the post... The city's car park API told me I could park here - why have I been given a parking ticket? The hospital's drug API told me I could mix these two tablets. The bank's API told me a client hadn't received the funds I sent. Basically, if I have to go to court and say "I have proof that your system told me XYZ."
