Certificates / Meeting minutes for 10/28 Web Crypto WG call

in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/28-crypto-minutes.html I noted the following lines with interest:

  "Technical proposals on Key Discovery API
   MichaelH: Current status is Ryan and I have been having discussions on technical merits
   ... Certificate references is one issue.
   ... Possible create new interface for certificates, did not intend to go that far initially
   ... Looking for strategies to identify certificates associated with keys held behind the U"

FWIW, I have just updated my WebCrypto/PKI conceptual specification so that it
incorporates Samuel Erdtman's proposal as well since both schemes should be able
to use the same Key Discovery/Certificate API.

In the paper I call Samuel's proposal an "Interim" solution but that shouldn't be
considered a bad thing; it just means that it shouldn't take years to build :-)

I plan to come to the TPAC as an observer.

Cheers,
Anders
