Practice Cryptography!
Even with all of the cryptologic and cryptographic technology that has existed in the world for the past 60 years, we still don't really know what encryption is good for or how to use it -- or, more importantly, why it's important. Maybe it's time for people and coders to actually start practicing how to use it, like any other skill.Saturday, April 08, 2006
Interesting thought...
The point of certificates from "certifying authorities" is so that other people can prove that it's your identity which signed something.
The point of not having "certifying authorities" sign public keys is so that you can prove it's your identity which signed something, but others cannot.
An "identity association" is limited in its scope to how much you can trust the entity that made the association. And heaven help us if individuals are ever called on in a legal environment to act in a CA role with no accountability.
