That was one of the > things I was confused about. Secure Messaging is an older, monolithic spec that covered a whole web messaging infrastructure including key registration, signing, verifying, encrypting, and decrypting messages. We are slowly splitting that spec up into separate parts and updating those independently, with Linked Data Signatures being the sign/verify portion. At this point, the Linked Data Signatures spec is the correct one to reference/use when talking about digital signatures. > > @Melvin: I'm working on an email to provide more detail as to why I > didn't think Secure Messaging would be a good solution.
