No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What? No it's not. This whole comment is wrong, sorry.
When a website has you type a name as a signature it's a legal representation of that signature. There's nothing cryptographic at all about it. In the US this is regulated by the ESIGN Act (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=%2Fprelim%40title15%2Fchapter96&edition=prelim). Also, where would you even store the key? I've made ways to use Webauthn keys to do this, but no signatory uses these methods.
And that's not how ZKPs in government IDs work, either. You never sign with them, you only verify.
Ref: My job is cryptographic signature protocols, and I have a draft at IETF for one of them.
I claimed no such thing. That is not a digital signature
I'm fairly certain we are not discussing the same thing.
I can digitally sign documents the way I have described (NOT IN A WEB BROWSER, but using entirely local or even open source software), but only using my government issued ID card.. As described by the relevant government, this is enabled by a "signature certificate" stored on the card.
But that's what OP is describing with the ""'s, so I assumed you were responding to the question, which they may have as well.
Interesting, I hadn't realized Finland added a separate cert from the ZKP ( https://www.suomi.fi/services/citizen-certificate-digital-and-population-data-services-agency/dc540ff4-0030-46b2-add0-9f7ceb2a41c8), new info gleaned.
Though this may still be "slightly" off. Seems the finish ID is a standard Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) plus a pin activated signature (Citizen) certificate.
This should mean you can identify yourself, or that you are over 18 without revealing your full identity) without the PIN, as that operates separately from the signing certificate which can be activated independently. The PIN would be used for signatures or encrypting things. Very cool.
There are two PINs, PIN1 for ZKP and PIN2 digital signing. The card does nothing without one.
Most EU countries provide some way for citizens to sign documents using a private key tied to their legal personage.
Putting it on the ID card they are given anyway just makes sense.
My final paragraph is there to explain that a lot of "digital signatures" aren't really signatures in any meaningful way. What goes into the actual file doesn't matter at all, UNLESS it's the aforementioned cryptographic signature.
