I have to see anyone take things seriously enough to sign their messages. We could easily assert a public key then send a chirp at the end that signs the transmission we just made, with our corresponding private key, for folks to verify.

I don't see any real push for a public service like ham to allow outright encryption. Channels feel like they should be for public use. We can get many guarantees, if we need them, without obfuscating the messages.

Yeah, it would be nice to see some protocols to do just that, implement authentication over cleartext messages in a way that's compatible with the rules, and then wedge that under some useful apps.
