Public key distribution through "cryptoIDs"
2003
Proceedings of the 2003 workshop on New security paradigms - NSPW '03
In this paper, we argue that person-to-person key distribution is best accomplished with a key-centric approach, instead of PKI: users should distribute public key fingerprints in the same way they distribute phone numbers, postal addresses, and the like. To make this work, fingerprints need to be small, so users can handle them easily; multzpurpose, so only a single fingerprint is needed for each user; and long-lived, so fingerprints don't have to be frequently redistributed.
