Generic discussions about challenges in gaining use of end2end security at Internet scale seem to be applicable to S/Mime. They note: 1. We don't have an existence proof for workable key management at scale. 2. We don't have an existence proof for usability (UX, HCI, etc.) at Internet scale, which means workable for non-geeks who have no extra motivation. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ Endymail mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/endymail
