Right, but it seemed like tedunangst's continuity suggestion was an answer to tptacek's "You cannot have privacy without some form of trust or identity."
Since continuity doesn't work for 1st contact, it still doesn't solve the fundamental trust issue. Based on the thread's context about the value or worthlessness of CAs... If you have to still use CAs for 1% of the key handshakes, "key continuity" seems like a tangent to the topic.
- tedunangst 9y agoI think we're veering into pedantic silliness, but "the person I talked to on Monday" is an identity. (Created on the fly when I speak with them on Monday.) This isn't always a useful identity, but perhaps a relevant point in a discussion of identity vs trust.
