I believe that between IPSP for the links and MOSS (and SHTTP using MOSS for document security) we should have the whole thing wrapped up in a couple of years. Problems still to solve include security for the internet's routing protocols, protection against denial of service attacks, etc.

Those people who would rather work than talk are invited to start reading the internet drafts (some of which are soon to be RFCs) and help out with the effort. I suspect that a big push from about 25 people could manage to implment just about everything we want and then we could go on and live the rest of our lives.
There is a lot of real hard work to do in the next year or two and I invite members of the community to quit waiting for the CryptoRapture in which the X-Ists bring down the cypher systems of the future, and help us actually do the job so that we'll see this stuff in our lifetime.
