Kintsugi and Content Authentication
A new issue brief from Tauth Labs, focuses on the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi, content authentication and trust in the internet.
It makes the case that Kintsugi, along with the "shadow content" and "protect, detect and correct," provides a way to frame discussions of content authentication that will support implementation of this foundational technology.
Thinking of content authentication as the lacquer or urushi to hold the pieces of the internet together and that does not hide the imperfections is we believe a useful way to highlight that its value. And, when viewed through the lens of wab-sabi, we can choose to admire and in fact celebrate the benefits the authentication process brings to the table.
