Must sign ALL THE BOOKS!
@Phosphenes @cstross @akamran Handy if we want to unlock your phone.
@TomF @Phosphenes @cstross @akamran no chance, you're gonna need a face photo for that.

Handwritten signatures are soooo 20th century and terrible security praxis.
To prove a book was signed by the author, it should be affixed with a QR code whose contents are a hash of the book's ISBN digitally encrypted by the author's ed25519 private key. No muss, no fuss, no bother!
This is a perfect and correct solution and I'm sure everyone will love it. [/straightface]
