Title: [NMC] Brainstorm: File Signing Post by: phelix on May 20, 2013, 12:02:51 PM A potential new use case for Namecoin: file verification.
Verifying the source of a file is critical in the cryptocurrency world. This would be a decentralized solution. Publish New Namecoin entry: name: filename value: hash of the file, signature, established entry the file is signed from Verify Check signature --> file is signed by the established entry holder The signature could be from the Namecoin key holding the established entry or a key published in the value of the established name. The established entry could be a .bit domain or an id / personal namespace entry or something completely new. I currently tend towards the domain. Comments? Interest?

They were invented exactly for the purpose of source verification.
