The core solution remains the same. Cite your sources Show your work Sign your name WRT John Walker's screed, I really thought certificates and web of trust would have become the norm by now. Anything unsigned would be treated as gossip or worse. Certs could be revoked as needed. Further, every trusted digital relationship would start with a key exchange. Vs relying on username and password. eg Banks would issue me a Secure Enclave of some sort, like a USB fob. I'd like to understand why this didn't happen. My best guess is "Worse is better" enabled predators and parasites. Which has been acceptable during the gold rush.
