[DMF] Linked Data Proofs vs Linked Data Signatures #5

Open jeborsel opened 5 years ago

jeborsel commented 5 years ago

It is stated on page 1 of the Detailed Concept Diagrams of the model that Linked Data Proofs & Linked Data Signatures are exactly the same. This is not completely true. Both are no official standards (yet) but generally it is understood that LD-Signatures is a type of LD-Proofs (other types could be Proof of Work, Proof of Existence, Proof of Elapsed Time, ..) .  As explained by @msporny in this issue : https://github.com/w3c-dvcg/ld-proofs/issues/5
