One (more) silly question: what about MOSS? Isn(t it THE INTERNET
standard for secured email?
Heh, Is anyone useing it?? :)
Since IETF standards must achieve market acceptance, this answer is more
relevant than it appears at first. As far as I can tell:
(1) There is no such thing as THE internet standard. There are usually
several to chose from. Although those who wish to communicate tend to use
IP. :-)
(2) Even when there are well established standards, people are free to
start a working group to make a new standard. SPKI is an example.
