In the mean time, the market has spoken; the wide spread deployment of
PGP, and the general lack thereof of PEM, indicates that PGP is doing
*something* right, and PEM is doing *something* wrong.
Where is this invisible market?? I don't consider newsgroups & mailing
lists a widespread market and IETF pgp signing sessions are hardly the
way I expect to see internet commerce to evolve. In my user
community (a company), I have a harder time selling PGP than I do with
PEM.
I agree with Ali. Where is the PGP user community ?
Does anyone know how many IETF attendees exchanged PGP keys
at the last meeting ?
Was it more than the number of certificates at, for example, NASA ?
