While I am *not* arguing that point, per se, if having a better solution would require, or would have required, no more investment than the accumulated profits in the sale of SSL domain name certs, we could have solved this by now.
the profit from sale of SSL domain name certs had profit motivation pretty much unrelated to the overall costs to the infrastructure ... and so there was an extremely strong champion. simply enhancing DNS and doing real-time trusted public key distribution thru a trusted domain name infrastructure ... was all cost with no champion with strong profit motivation. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majord...@metzdowd.com
