As others have noted, the issue isn't a lack of ways to build your own website, it is the capture of the web by the likes of facebook, google, apple. It feels like a lifetime ago but people forget that one of the things that made myspa

Send me an email (in my profile), I am interested in your perspective. PKI/Web of trust are just terminology around the usage of asymmetric key cryptography to solve certain problems. The service relies on third parties to perform veri

The use of PKI referred to in the article isn't about domain names. PKI can be used for trust projection and verification beyond domain names, that is what the article refers to.

No banking relationships yet, we're just putting it out there for now to prove the concept. Ultimately the goal is to create a service that can serve as a generic and scalable solution for internet information trust. Everything from da

This is mainly an app design issue...Certify makes cryptography including the question of keys completely transparent to the user. The user just needs to learns how to perform some simple operations with the app, they never have to know ab

I like the idea of non-repudiation, let the chips fall where they may when such authentic email is maliciously dumped. Perhaps a simple timestamped based appendage can be added for the sake of email client authentication. In other words rej

If one has to explain a joke then either they're bad at it, it's a bad joke or they have the wrong audience....I'll leave the conclusion as to which is it to the readers :) The article is about making money (even from the tit

This reads a lot like simply another way to tie users up into a smartphone specific Eco-system, not to mention the privacy implications. There is a much better approach that doesn't have the privacy problems that the proposed solution

Painting with such a broad brush is not particularly meaningful. Africa is huge and it's challenges and triumphs equally myriad. Patronage is hardly unique to African countries.

Agreed. The primary reason the software development field has evolved to be preoccupied with saving/re-using/inter-op code is because of the difficulty of building even the most trivial piece of software. Unfortunately code hoardi

They are the same, if you ignore the VC-driven buzzword use of it...there are far more products that have nothing to do with developing applications being called low-code than there are actual development platforms. Basically any solution t
