In a discussion in the German Pirate Party the idea came up that we
might want to have cryptographically signed wiki pages.
I could not find that this has been implemented already anyhow.
Thus, can we develop an extsion which provides cryptographically signed
wiki pages?
A brief and preliminaly scetch would mean that any user who provides a
matching public key could sign any existing page.
Before a page + signature is saved, the signature is checked for
vadility.
Editing a siged page is possible without resigning it.
There must be a page display allowing to copy+paste the page with
signature for external verification.
Therre should be a button triggering the verifivation via an external
online service.
Maybe signature display of signed pages should be suppressable.
Any numer of independent signatures must be possible to a page.
Does that make sense? Anything vital forgotten?
Feedback welcome.
