[Ghost] Proposed Structure for Organizing Standards Information

["Boyle, Vincent M" <[e-mail]>]

I read the Google doc again this morning. I like the idea of a short introduction to each topic and then moving on to specific situations (use cases and device types; maybe deployment scenarios as well, such as how big is the set of things that have to authenticate to each other, or how will keys be provisioned). In general, I like the idea of quickly getting to specifics and providing pointers to appropriate standards.

I'm wondering if we need to work through the Authentication example a bit. Maybe create a part of the matrix (no attempt to be complete) and then see how we would handle things from there. I think even concentrating on a specific scenario (signed email) could be enlightening, considering the differences when you're all part of an enterprise vs. a community with no central authority.

 If it would help, I'd be happy to join a phone call to discuss. Otherwise, maybe somebody more adept than me could create a small example to foster discussion.
