# fr33domlover Hi everyone
# fr33domlover Question about HTTP signatures: How do I verify that the key really belongs to the actor?
# fr33domlover I mean, what prevents an attacker from changing the keyId to some URL they control, and sign the message with their own key?
# puckipedia fr33domlover: validate that the key has an owner that points to the actor, and the actor has a publicKey that points to the key

# fr33domlover puckipedia: hmm does that solve the problem? What if the evil person replace the actor ID URL too?
# fr33domlover Ah well
# fr33domlover I suppose that would be ok, since,
# puckipedia then it isn't the same person that is doing the messages
# fr33domlover They won't be pretending to be you
# fr33domlover puckipedia: thanks :)
# fr33domlover btw the server keeps disconnecting me for some reason
# puckipedia ping timeout
# fr33domlover yeah but why does it happen? :-/
# puckipedia your side of the connection drops
# fr33domlover my internet connection is fine, it's weird
# puckipedia it might just not like long lived tcp connections
# fr33domlover usual home wifi and everything, connected to other irc servers fine
# fr33domlover (well right now i'm at work but it happens to me at home too)
