Security Concerns - Current 20th-century systems are vulnerable in low-trust, high-tech environments, leading to potential fraud [1] - Digital signatures offer enhanced security compared to traditional signatures [1] - In Texas, property theft can occur with minimal cost (e.g., $30) and without ID verification [1] - Forged deeds can be accepted by county recording systems without proper verification [2] - A specific case in Texas involved the fraudulent "sale" of properties worth over 6 million USD using a fake notarized signature [1] Proposed Solutions - Rebuilding systems with cryptography is necessary to address security vulnerabilities [1]
