Signatures on Notes

Postby Ferinex » Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:26 am

Allow us to apply a character or account specific signature to parchments we've written, in order to verify their authenticity. This is akin to cryptographically signing a note

A simple 'workaround' to get the same effect, would be to allow for line breaks on parchment + copy support when reading them, so we can easily past cryptographically signed messages in

Messages need line breaks and a better input text box, I agree, but what the hell is that about pasting cryptographically signed messages? I'm generally not too anal about immersion breaking, but I definitely don't want to see 'BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE' anywhere in iron age not-Scandinavia.

I'm thinking more something akin to a wax stamp as signature, as they used to do in the olden days. Could make for some fun intrigue if some bad boy gets ahold of the stamp too >_>

Some hearth magic to notarize notes would be cool.

Complication, AFAIK there is no restriction to name yourself identical to some other player?

If you want to prove your *account* sent or wrote that note - just do it in the forum. Village topic or PM.

You could obviously somehow display the signature author in your kin list.

sure, but it's trivial on the back end when generating such signatures to identify characters uniquely, and give them therefore unique signatures.

the game does already have a wax seal curiosity, simply it is non-functional. that might be a good middle ground
