Building a Verified Web with Certisfy Cryptographic Signatures

I propose using Certisfy stickers to attach cryptographic signatures to URLs, creating a strong signal of authenticity in an AI-saturated online space. This approach moves beyond flawed secrecy models to prevent data breaches and scams by verifying contact sources in real time. By leveraging existing trust infrastructure like .gov emails, we can bootstrap a robust web of trust where users instantly validate the identity behind every link and message.

Secrecy has its use as a privacy preserving mechanism but is fairly flawed as an information usage authentication mechanism.
