External Validation Agent
This is probably at the crux of the Monkeysphere vision for the future:
TLS transition strategies
While RFC 5081 is quite a while
off from widespread adoption, it would be good to have an interim
translation step. This is analogous to the SSH work we've done, where
the on-the-wire protocol remains the same, but the keys themselves are
looked up in the OpenPGP WoT.
Firefox extensions that deal with certificate validation seem to be
the easiest path toward demonstrating this technique. We should look
at:
- SSL Blacklist
- Perspectives
- there is another firefox extension that basically disables all TLS certificate checking. The download page says things like "this is a bad idea" and "do not install this extension", but i'm unable to find it at the moment.
