I guess I see the problem in two parts. 1) who is this person *claiming* to be? 2) Do I trust the claim?
For step one we need a global unique name (that’s provable). For step two it will always be a grey area depending on what sites you personally trust. Different people will trust different sites.

I was thinking about ways to sign a gemtext message with a key and I remember a post a while back talking about posting keys. But my gemsearch king-fu is weak. Can anyone help me? I remember they had the idea of a pictograph for a public key. Maybe I’d want another pictograph for the digest signature? (I know my terminology is wrong there.)
