Are there any standards out there that would address the use of something like Secure Function Evaluation for common Certification Authority operations? As a canonical example, how about the process for a top-level CA to sign the certificate for a second-level CA? Typically you might require that two “passwords” be entered by two different people before the operation becomes possible. (Hopefully k of n people in general?) Seems like we shouldn’t need so much special hardware to solve these problems. The example I gave is specifically extremely low volume, so speed is NOT a significant consideration.
