TLSNotary seems cool: https://tlsnotary.org/

If the MPC node and user collude they can generate arbitrary statements from the target server.

The main unsolved problem to bring this data on-chain.

Working on building zkTLS infra/products. A ruthless empiricist and meme connoisseur.

I wish some of the big SSL terminating companies, Cloudflare, Amazon, Google, etc would run these nodes. At least that would minimize the target server+MPC collusion risk, which would be my main concern.
Ideally though, it would just be built into webservers so I could request notorized responses directly.

It would be easier just to change the https standard to add a signature in the response header.

There have been various proposals over the years to no progress.

Woah, TIL about this effort: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-message-signatures/

It looks *not* abandoned .. would be nice to signal support for efforts like this. Web based oracles would be way more meaningful.

This is a proposal by digital bazaar which is a self sovereign identity company (verifiable credentials).

Google, Amazon etc are the ones who control these standards boards. Unless they support it won’t go through.

It looks like the lead author (Annabelle Backman) is at Amazon, which seems promising. Imagine if they added this to everything hosted on EC2 by default.

Even still i think odds are slim it will be adopted.

About tlsnotary?

Actually no. I just started a company in this space and am very bullish. I have a slick solution to the collusion problem that I will share publicly in the future.

I just don’t think it’s worth trying to convince people to cooperate. Better to just push forward.

My DMs are open on this topic.

Sounds like to you, potential benefits from this would not be enough to overcome any crypto overhead + potential incentive incompatibility issues with those who would need to support this (+ potentially serve as node operators)?

Would that be a fair summary?
