[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T138708: [Epic] Signed statements

[Joshi-Jay-31]

Joshi-Jay-31 added a comment.

I have gone through "signed document mockup" shared above and I have the following picture in my mind please correct me where i am wrong,

1. We are not concerned about data getting altered during the transmission, by the man in the middle or something. That means the receiver is supposed to hash the document again at its side and verify it against the supplied signature. This means it is possible to alter data and put according to signature during the transmission
2. We want to supply original digital signature with the article and let receiver verify the integrity of the document. In case of web pages, _javascript_ may do that job.
3. We will need to create some API endpoint to verify the claims. In this API signature can be passed to view the information of signer.
4. We also need to maintain the records of signers to verify claims
