New reflections on Perspectives and notaries ?

[morganism]

are we going to re-examine the notaries question now that SSL is seriously broken?

I can't believe that the open ended string was in TLS !

There is also a 'reverse heartblood"

and some history

Actually TLS is in the process of being fixed.

And Perspectives wouldn't help very much against this, because even if you're using the correct certificate, someone who has stolen the private key can read your traffic on the wire, just like the true server can.

An issue is that certificates can't be reliably revoked. Perspectives might help with that a bit?
