Maybe check the definitions. What it appears you are attempting to
do is provide a mechanism for authentication by marking with a
particular signature.

Can you 'secure' for someone else?
Can you provide 'trust' for someone else?
Can you 'verify'? - very likely not

OTOH, if you claim that you are verifying something by authetication,
you're back in the box again.

Authentication simply means that the signature on the item to be
authenticated was correct... You can't really do more than that.
