Not sure if I'm missing something, but have they interviewed two people who were extremely influential in cryptography and a third guy who... once worked at Bell Labs and is the CEO of a startup company?
- nmelo 6y agoTJ Jermoluk used to be CEO of @Home Networks, President and COO at Silicon Graphics and General Partner at KPCB.
- cryptonector 6y agoSo why is he relevant to "the Future of Authentication"? I could see Martin Hellman being relevant, maybe. But there's no real substance in this piece, certainly not from Jermoluk. What I got out of it is that PKI is the answer. As I think DNS-based PKI is the answer, I think he's not too far, but he's probably selling something I don't need or want.
- nick-garfield 6y agoWhat do you mean by DNS-based PKI? That sounds interesting, but I can't quite visualize what that is.
- cryptonector 6y agoThere are two options: - registries and registrars run name-constrained CAs - DNSSEC/DANE (RFC 6698 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698)
- dogma1138 6y agoI’m guessing using CERT resource records, that however doesn’t solve how you establish the chain of trust really.
- dogma1138 6y agoBecause that’s what his new startup Beyond Identity does.
- cryptonector 6y agoSounds like a puff piece.
- some_furry 6y agoI don't think you're missing anything. This is effectively a form of name-dropping, except by proxy. "Look, I was interviewed with two titans. Therefore, I am one of them." Or put another way, a puff piece.
- bredren 6y agoYou're right to identify it as odd. This looks basically like a paid for article you'd see in NY Times Bits section. What's odd about it is that it's on IEEE's site. I don't look at that often, but I suppose I'd hope it wouldn't be sort of shilling startups.
