In a discussion in the German Pirate Party the idea came up that we might want to have cryptographically signed wiki pages. I could not find that this has been implemented already anyhow.

Thus, can we develop an extsion which provides cryptographically signed wiki pages?

A brief and preliminaly scetch would mean that any user who provides a matching public key could sign any existing page. Before a page + signature is saved, the signature is checked for vadility. Editing a siged page is possible without resigning it. There must be a page display allowing to copy+paste the page with signature for external verification. Therre should be a button triggering the verifivation via an external online service. Maybe signature display of signed pages should be suppressable. Any numer of independent signatures must be possible to a page.

Does that make sense? Anything vital forgotten?

Feedback welcome.
