Don't we already have that in the form of PKI? (Think TLS certificates, PGP/GPG keys, SSH keys, et al)
If someone's posts, articles, videos, interview recordings, etc. were signed with the author's private key, then we could all verify it with their public key.
Of course, there's a technical barrier to overcome but I imagine it would be the same with whatever Obama's proposing here.
hash content + timestamp and sign the resulting hash.
the issue with the article is its low-information with a lot of nebulous "scary" words and obvious political biases. the parent site is even worse (imho).
