Because slow governments didn’t manage to set an open standard for what they require so that every little court can verify if the verification approach is valid

Because slow governments didn’t manage to set an open standard for what they require so that every little court can verify if the verification approach is valid, so once again there’s a need to trust a brand name, rather than having fair competition.
- AmericanChopper 5y agoSource authentication is basically an unsolved problem. There are some cryptographic approaches to doing it, but they all basically boil down to moving trust around between different parties. The problem certainly isn’t a lack of government set open standards. The problem described above also doesn’t exist. A signature isn’t a necessary element of a contract, and even in situations where a signature is statutorily required for a certain type of contract, an e-signature is legally recognised (in all US states at least) without specifying that particular service providers or methodologies have to be used.
