The Issue

In today's digital age, our lives are intertwined with countless websites and online platforms that store and share our personal data. It's crucial to have tools that not only allow us to access and export this data but also provide verifiable proof of its origin.

For someone like me, it's not enough to simply download a bank statement or transaction history from my bank's website. The challenge arises when I need to present this document to a third party as legitimate evidence. Without a standard way to prove that a digital document originated from a specific source, we are often left vulnerable to skepticism and fraud.

This is why the adoption of RFC 9421 by all websites is essential. RFC 9421 is a protocol that ensures electronic responses, especially those containing personal data, are signed with a digital signature. This protocol not only verifies the source of the data but also secures its integrity during transmission.

Enforcing the use of RFC 9421 across all online platforms will greatly enhance the authenticity and trustworthiness of digital documents. This will empower individuals to present their digital records without the fear of them being contested or questioned.

By supporting this petition, you are advocating for a more transparent, secure, and reliable internet experience for everyone. Your signature will urge lawmakers and internet regulators to implement measures requiring all websites to adhere to RFC 9421. Sign the petition for a safer and more verifiable digital world.
