I've been wondering about the feasibility of using SPKI certs. I quite
like some of the features (delegation) and relative ease of
implementation (compared to X.509 certs)...of course, readability of
certs could go a long way to helping end-users evaluate for themselves
the trustworthiness of the cert.
While pgp certs could probably be a good alternative (given the existing
user base and infrastructure)....even though lacking in the ability to
delegate.
However, I'm a little wary since at the moment there seem to be just a
few sources of info or proponents (even though their arguments seem
convincing to me) when it comes to SPKI.
I am also not aware of any products or PKIs that use SPKI certs. I
would really appreciate if someone could refer me to instances of actual
usage of SPKI certs.
