IRC sucks in many ways... for example very week identity as we see here

tantek: elf-pavlik left you a message on 3/11 at 4:50am: re: https://www.w3.org/Social/track/actions/35 I left you a note there long time ago (> a month) + just added it to F2F agenda
#
tantek
also someone else can pick you messages and you don't see them :S
#
elf-pavlik
enough! ;)

Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next

I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2015/03/13-social-minutes.html elf-pavlik

Elf-pavlik. Its also HIGHLY offensive and quite disruptive top do what you just did
#
elf-pavlik
rrsagent, make records public
#
RRSAgent
I have made the request, elf-pavlik
#
elf-pavlik
rrsagent, bye
#
RRSAgent
I see no action items
#
elf-pavlik
ben_thatmustbeme, i logged that and of course will share with tantek and others
#
elf-pavlik
just making point that as in email i sign all the messages IRC doesn't allow it :(
#
ben_thatmustbeme
The point can be made without doing it though
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Could have left messages for a fake account. Etc
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Also your case should then be with w3c to include a nickname auth service
#
elf-pavlik
sure, i think showing how easy one can mess with IRC identity here makes stronger pint
#
elf-pavlik
and as you see we have it logged both - by RRSagent and Loqi
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Rooms can be configured not allow a person to talk unless they have authenticated to nickserv
#
elf-pavlik
ben_thatmustbeme, how do you tell if someone authenticated with irc.w3.org?
#
elf-pavlik
issue-19
#
trackbot
is looking up issue-19.
#
trackbot
issue-19 -- WG communication channel explosion -- raised
#
elf-pavlik
i'll add links to logs of this 'incident' in that issue
#
elf-pavlik
!tell tantek I added to issue-19 logs showing where i impose your identity on this channel - just for the sake of showing the issue! https://www.w3.org/Social/track/issues/19
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
#
elf-pavlik
ben_thatmustbeme, AFAIK also logs don't show if someone authenticated nickname or not
#
elf-pavlik
BTW have you taken a look at Linked Data Signatures? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdUZaYeQblY
#
elf-pavlik
to #selfdogfood i'll start signing my social data as soon as i start publishing it on my independent webspace https://github.com/digitalbazaar/jsonld-signatures
#
elf-pavlik
yesterday i moved to new VM and now i can start deploying there

#
ben_thatmustbeme
no, i haven't watched them yet, I saw your list of video links
#
ben_thatmustbeme
when I have time I'll paruse them.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I actually want to work with some people at IWC to get private posts going server to server securely. Anyone with HTTPS basically already has a public key signature on their posts
#
ben_thatmustbeme
but our previous attempts to do server to server open a security issue in server-server comms
#
ben_thatmustbeme
also re: changing your name to another person in IRC, You can do a similar something in email and have been able to for a very long time. Many email servers go through a lot of testing to say that a person is probably an imposter based on headers, but its really not perfect
#
ben_thatmustbeme
and really depends on the setup of the spoofed sender's domain to secure it in ways that many people don't do
#
elf-pavlik
ben_thatmustbeme, agreed but notice that I sign my emails, also harry and few other people do so!
#
elf-pavlik
recalls to invite https://nitrokey.com to IndieWebCamp in Düsseldorf
#
ben_thatmustbeme
most people don't ever validate signatures in email
#
ben_thatmustbeme
many wouldn't even notice if it was missing
#
ben_thatmustbeme
especially since people will have different signatures based on client they are using. e.g. "Sent from my iPhone"
#
ben_thatmustbeme
include that at the end of an email and most people will forgive any change in signature
#
ben_thatmustbeme
even forgive spelling errors or anything that looks amiss assuming instead that it is errors on mobile
#
ben_thatmustbeme
oh and re authentication, the server will report it if configured for it, Freenode does. Most clients don't bother
#
ben_thatmustbeme
messages from the server to the client contain a boolean for authed or not

ben_thatmustbeme, does Loqi keep track on those booleans?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
on #indiewebcamp, don't know, in here he can't
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i don't believe he does though
#
ben_thatmustbeme
anyone with any options set, ops/halfops/voice needs to be authed to nickserv first though i believe

fascinating - first time today I am joining this channel and see that there have been earlier posts masquerading as my IRC nickname "tantek"

ah I see elf-pavlik did that ok - glad to see it was only for open demonstration purposes and nothing intentionally nefarious ;)
#
tantek
perhaps this is a use-case for POSSEing to IRC!

!tell elf-pavlik note that SMTP provides no such authentication either, thus anyone can configure their email client to pretend to be anyone on W3C mailing lists. And sadly, that looks more "official" because email has a more "formal" UI, thus is more capable of harm.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
aaronpk
heh should I demonstrate that for elf?
#
tantek
haven't verified that claim
#
aaronpk
I do see "signature.asc" attachments in his emails to the list
#
tantek
I wonder how many people do that
#
aaronpk
the more important question is how many people verify the signatures
#
tantek
and pretty sure if someone pretended to be sending from his email address, *without* a signature.asc, that he would claim that it it's not him
