Abstract

The use of digital signatures is often thought to depend on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Conventional PKI, built around X.509 certificates and 'certificate authorities' (CAs), has been a substantial failure, and will continue to be so. This presentation explains why.

The presentation is based on Clarke (2001).

Here are the PowerPoint slides.
