Folks, Recent revelations have called into question the integrity of some of the implementations of basic cryptographic functions and devices used to secure communications on the Internet.
There are questions about some algorithms but more particularly about implementations of algorithms in software and hardware. The Internet community can and must deal with these implementation issues. A few individuals and organizations are therefore embarking on an effort to investigate and promote the development of an open-source hardware cryptographic engine that meets the needs of high assurance Internet infrastructure that use cryptography. Such an engine must also be of general use to the broad Internet community, covering the cryptographic needs for applications such as secure email, web, DNS, PKIs, etc. We are therefore hosting an informal discussion focusing on gathering use-cases for such an engine/module.
