Tobias, one of the central topics in security for me is usability. We slide into a system fostering pervasive monitoring only because our tools are too hard to use. One of the central issues is authentication (not identification, I don't need to know the name/address of scubidoo34) I just want to be sure that I really share my conversation with scubidoo34 and not somebody else. The other bigger issue I see is with group communication. There, crypto has so far not produced viable results AFAIK. Then, there is the question of momentum and interest. Looks like despite all the outcry, security remains a very individual thing and people do not really see the potential or necessity of standardization (as in joint development). I would hope for contributions along those lines for the STRINT Workshop https://www.w3.org/2014/strint/participate.html --Rigo STRINT Co-chair STREWS Technical coordinator On Tuesday 07 January 2014 16:36:13 Tobias Gondrom wrote: > Just fyi in my personal view (not as WG chair): at this point I see only > very limited activities at the IETF Websec WG.
