CONIKS – Bringing Key Transparency to End Users (2014) [pdf]

• CaliforniaKarl 10y ago
  Joseph Bonneau, one of the paper's authors, talked about this in the Stanford Computer (course EE380) during Autumn quarter. The talk's abstract: http://ee380.stanford.edu/Abstracts/161130.html http://ee380.stanford.edu/Abstracts/161130.html A video: http://ee380.stanford.edu/Abstracts/161130-video.html http://ee380.stanford.edu/Abstracts/161130-video.html One thing I didn't understand, is that CONIKS is not something where clients can insert keys in an unrestricted manner: There is a gatekeeper (run by the service provider), who does some sort of testing/control before inserting a new key.

    I came here to say that. Anyone knows how relevant is CONIKS now that Key Transparency is out? Kind of like, how relevant is NTS now that Roughtime is out?
