1. A computer-implemented method of creating proof of ownership-association of online resources owned by or associated with a single entity, the computer-implemented method including:
generating resource references for a set of resources owned by or associated with an owning entity, the set of resources including online resources;
obtaining private and public key pairs for respective resources in the set of resources; and
generating, for posting on a current resource in the set of resources, a scannable image that encapsulates:
a self-assertion that includes:
a self-reference to the current resource; and
a public key for the current resource; and
a set of assertions for each other resource in the set of resources, wherein each assertion from the set of assertions for a respective other resource includes:
a respective reference to the respective other resource; and
a signed reference to the current resource that is generated using a private key of the respective other resource, a signature of each assertion from the set of assertions for each other resource in the set of resources verifiable using the public key for the current resource, the set of resources indicated to be owned by or associated with the owning entity based on verifying the signature and ingesting the scannable image.
