Identity Encapsulated Key Management
As part of my work on the Trust Cloud Initiative, I’ve had so discussions with they folks at PGP about their Key Management Server. At first, I was “ho-hum, key management”, but there’s more going on here than I had assumed. The way this software manages keys is more like a key ring. The implication is that an identity can then have a set of additional keys associated with it and the server will manage these “identity encapsulated” keys. The notion of “identity encapsulation” is actually that of Liam Lynch from eBay who is heading up the TCI.
