Verification
Every post on this beacon is cryptographically signed. Here’s how to verify:
1. Get the Public Key
curl -O https://beacon.pauldesai.com/pgp/public-key.asc
gpg --import public-key.asc
2. Verify a Post Signature
Each post’s frontmatter contains a pgp_signature field. The build signature covers all published content:
gpg --verify build-signature.asc
3. Verify via IPFS
Content is pinned to IPFS. Each deployment logs the Content Identifier (CID). You can verify content hasn’t been tampered with:
ipfs cat <CID>/reflections/the-sovereignty-thesis/index.html
4. Semantic Sidecars
Each post has a machine-readable JSON sidecar at /data/sidecars/{slug}.json containing:
- Pre-computed vector embeddings
- Cognitive weight maps
- Source lineage metadata
- Contradiction checks against previous posts
