Re: [cnit] [dispatch] CNIT and Modern Charter

["Gorman, Pierce A [CTO]" <[e-mail]>]

Why?  A common scam is to get someone to call, text, e-mail, browse, to a location of bad actions.  If there was someway to authenticate that the caller hasn't actually reached the "real" Bank of America, or whatever, there is some value to the consumer.  Just a thought.  TLS includes a nod to mutual authentication.  I was just trying to think more about "trust models" and what they can/should look like.

As a matter of principal I wouldn’t rule anything like this out but there could be some philshing issues.

My question would be why?  Sort of like the old out of band STIR idea that I’m convinced is going no where.

I’d like to fix one simple problem reasonably quickly.
