Dear all,

Last email was a few months ago. There are a few drafts: I think Paul
Wouters had a DNSSEC key discovery draft around, but I feel we are a
long way from declaring victory. It would be nice to know that this is
because silently we solved the problem and deployed the solution over
the past month, but I've got a feeling its more likely we gave up.

So if I could summarize the problems they are:

1: keys are hard
2: spam is hard
3: discovery is hard.

UI work is needed for 1. 2 I have no idea. 3 seems to have some good
ideas floating around to solve it. Of course, in an ideal world we
would get perfect secrecy, but that's much harder, although methods
are floating around to do it.

Sincerely,
Watson Ladd
