== Link: Peter Gutmann on PKI

[[Everything you never wanted to know about PKI but were forced to find
out http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/pkitutorial.pdf]] [PDF]
by Peter Gutmann is a set of slides about just that: a pile of the warts
and issues with PKI in general and the SSL model in specific.
If you're interested in the whole field, [[his home page
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/]] has links to enough additional
papers to keep you reading for some time.
