I believe it would be interesting to further analyze the general problem, perhaps defining a problem statement and the requirements for a fast re-authentication procedure in ABFAB. Then, we could move to the solution space. I think this is an interesting topic. > When we are next in person I'd like to discuss this sort of optimization > with you in more detail. Sure.
