[w3ctag/packaging-on-the-web] Can a package be authenticated to come from a particular secure origin? (#30)

One use of this packaging format could be to let folks exchange websites offline. However, if I copy a package from you and open it, and it wants to do something like install a service worker or record video, it needs to live in a [secure context](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-secure-contexts/), meaning the browser needs a cryptographically secure signature vouching that a particular origin created the package. Has anyone thought about how to embed that signature and its certificate chain into a package? Can the HTTPS client extract a trustworthy signature automatically, or does it need the server's cooperation?
