Perhaps this is just flame bait, but I should remark that the
existence proof of Intrinsic Certification can be seen at
http://www.mcg.org.br/intrinsic.htm
It depends now on human endeavor to implement it. And that's what is
being done by the MCG and a handfull of companies -- as fast as we
can do it without your help....
Further, in less than one year of existence, the MCG has today
participants from 25 countries, almost 100,000 hits outside the
*.cps.softex.br and *.unicamp.br domains and is working towards a
next publication of the Meta-Certificate Standard. Which is pretty
fast if you compare with the usual time it takes to develop an
Internet standard and watch it gain momentum.
Besides, with the publication of the Holocomm main specifications I
am advancing a further step into that day when we won't even imagine
GAKware or key-escrow because it won't be possible.
Cheers,
Ed
