Abstract:
The problems with the WebPKI have received the attention by the
Internet security community when DigiNotar, a Dutch certificate
authority, had a security breach in 2011 and in the same year a
Comodo affiliate was compromised. Both cases lead to fraudulent
issue of certificates and raise questions regarding the strength of
the WebPKI used by so many applications.
Almost 2 years have passed since these incidents and various
standardization activities have happened in the meanwhile offering
new technical solutions to make the public key infrastructure more
resilient.
The important question, however, is which of the technical solutions
will get widespread deployment? In this document we compare the
different technical solutions in an attempt to engage the impacted
stakeholders to trigger deployment actions to improve the status quo.
This document does not include any recommendations what techniques to
use.
