Final draft of “Smarter Signatures: Experiments in Verifications” from #RebootingWebOfTrust at #ID2020 now available https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/ID2020DesignWorkshop/blob/master/final-documents/smarter-signatures.pdf
Some requirements for #SmartSignature systems from #RebootingWebOfTrust:
1 - Composable
Some requirements for #SmartSignature systems from #RebootingWebOfTrust:
2 - Inspectable
Some requirements for #SmartSignature systems from #RebootingWebOfTrust:
3 - Provable

4 - Deterministic
Some requirements for #SmartSignature systems from #RebootingWebOfTrust:
5 - Bounded
Some requirements for #SmartSignature systems from #RebootingWebOfTrust:

What are #SmartSignatures good for? Changes to corp bylaws signed by accountable super-majority of board OR private majority of stockholders
A #SmartSignatures use case: change order only valid if 2 of 3 signers from corp A AND 1 of 3 signers from corp B https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/ID2020DesignWorkshop/blob/master/final-documents/smarter-signatures.pdf
A #SmartSignatures use case: legacy & future proofing — doc is valid if rsa-based sig OR ecdsa-based sig OR hash-based sig
A #SmartSignatures use case: app signature is valid for a minor release if signed by 2 of 7 coders, but for a major release requires 5 of 7.

A use of #SmartSignatures: PO is approved for less than $500 if signed by an employee $5K if signed by a exec $50k if signed by 2 of 5 execs
A use for #SmartSignatures: A file can be accessed only with a sig of patient OR the sig of health care proxy OR (Dr. AND privacy ombudsman)
A use case for #SmartSignatures: A server key can be revoked by my sig OR 5 of 7 of my trusted customers can revoke it if observing issues.
