    Yeah, I’m surprised Google or another big player hasn’t released something yet, or that the people like the IETF haven’t had any RFCs or produced any practical standards. Now’s the time to get market dominance. Perhaps nobody will react until the shit hits the fan.

    I mean, pgp is great, but in this day and age we need a simple standard people can use to sign media without a hassle and we may also need chain of custody in light of social media (edits and whatnot). Developers will likely need or want to build it into their software, so we need a standard. I don’t think the pgp approach really worked for most people.
