You can cryptographically verify an entire universe of things, in any 
manner you choose. If you want said verification to work like the Web, 
then look to what I am demonstrating to you re. WebID and TLS, using 
what's already an integral part of the Web :-)

This is all about making PKI web-like and then meshing it with logic, 
which is also woven into the Web etc..
