Who cares? I mean, really?
Because credentials are portable reputation. A college is not a place
of higher learning, it's a reputation-granting institution. A college
degree is no more valuable than the reputation it grants to you. And,
once you establish your own reputation (as I have in my field), a
college degree becomes moot. I wish colleges understood that. I wish
students understood that.
This leads me to wonder how encryption helps make portable
reputations? Can it even?
