jaywink cwebber2: did you have time to read this? https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/203#issuecomment-316266171 .. maybe if LD sigs are going to not happen (due to complexity of the spec), it might be worth at least considering Salmon Magic Envelopes? I get this might not excite some in the group but there is lots of experience with these in the federated social web and it would basically solve what LDS
#
Loqi [zotlabs] Just did a test integration of salmon magic envelopes w/json serialisation and activitypub. This is mostly informative and you are free to accept or reject. It's a workable alternative to the current lack of a solid specification when it comes to for...

jaywink solves.
#
jaywink I see Gargron liked one of Mike's comments there, would be interesting to hear thoughts from Mastodon side
#
saranix still has the same deconstruction/blob storage issue, also has the snowball effect...
#
saranix All 3 methods can live along-side each other and now I am of the opinion that the spec should not mandate any one method. It's fine if some sigs do federate. Software that supports all 3 will have the best UI.

saranix *don't
#
jaywink I'm really only worried about verifying authors while solving all the use cases. It would be bad if developers feel they must accept content without verifying it because there is no common way payloads are delivered :) But I realize the difficulties, just wanting to ensure all options are not investigated.
#
jaywink I certainly would reject any content I can't verify - otherwise I'm making software that allows anyone to spoof anyone :P
