Re: No SKE in Daytona and other goodies

A technical question about the proposed SKE schemes: are they a proper superset of non-escrowed pgp/ripem type systems (pk for key exchange/auth, private session keys for privacy)? As a previous poster mentioned, users could select null or locally controlled key escrow agents, and effectively have a non-escrowed system. This would be possible only if the users one wished to communicate with did co-operate, and did somehow exchange public keys with you in a non-escrowed fashion, right? Is this then a strong argument for the web-of-trust model? If I am tottaly out in left field here, feel free to berate me in private mail, and I'll post no further on this. Andy
