Say goodbye to Linked Data Signatures

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/mastodon-4.7/

We now support verifying FEP-8b32 Object Integrity Proofs using either eddsa-jcs-2022 or mldsa44-jcs-2024.

The latest version of Mastodon can verify FEP-8b32 integrity proofs, which replace outdated Linked Data Signatures.

@fentiger I think this is the first implementation.

FEP-8b32 mentions post-quantum sigs in the "Future work" section, but I don't want to RECOMMEND anything yet because Quantum-Resistant Cryptosuites v1.0 is a Working Draft.

www.w3.orgQuantum-Resistant Cryptosuites v1.0This specification describes several Data Integrity Cryptosuites for use when generating a digital signature using Post-Quantum digital signature algorithms.
