[perpass] draft-tschofenig-iab-webpki-evolution-00

[Hannes Tschofenig <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

one item that predates the pervasive surveillance debate is the 
discussion about improving the public key infrastructure (but still has 
relevance in this discussion, see 
https://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=15579).

Following the workshop at NIST earlier this year the IAB and ISOC have 
been reaching out to different players (and are still doing that) to 
continue the conversation.

We have put together a first document that describes the different 
proposals (and as you can see the level of detail available for them and 
their maturity varies greately). Here is the writeup:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tschofenig-iab-webpki-evolution-00

The analysis is still a bit weak and requires more work but the 
proposals are hopefully captured accurately. Let us know whether there 
is something missing.

We hope that this could help to create move momentum behind certain 
proposals to get them accepted by the community and widely deployed.

Ciao
Hannes
