The Global Internet Trust Register: 1999 edition
(The development of electronic commerce and other applicat...)
The development of electronic commerce and other applications on the Internet is held up by concerns about security. Cryptography—the science of codes and ciphers—will be a significant part of the solution, but one of the hardest problems is enabling users to find out which cryptographic key belongs to whom. The main things that can go wrong with cryptography are similar to those that can go wrong with a signature stamp. A stamp can be stolen or counterfeit; or it may not belong to the person one thought it did. The first two risks can be controlled largely by technical measures. The third risk is the hard one, and the one that this book helps to solve. Many people who use cryptographic services on the Internet have had their keys certified by one or more of about a thousand important keys. The pioneers of cryptography hoped that these keys would in turn be certified by the United Nations or by each other, or listed in the phone book. For a variety of political and competitive reasons, this has not happened. The result is chaos, and the situation is bound to get worse as both companies and governments try to stake out claims in cyberspace. The primary aim of this book is to cut through the chaos by publishing the thousand or so important keys in paper form, as a kind of global phone book. The secondary aim is political: By printing these keys on paper, we can use established legal protections to limit government interference.

The Global Trust Register
(This book is a register of the fingerprints of the world'...)
This book is a register of the fingerprints of the world's most important public keys; it implements a top-level certification authority (CA) using paper and ink rather than in an electronic system. Its purpose is fourfold: * to provide the currently missing top level in the global key certification hierarchy, thus enabling users to verify the authenticity of root certificates that they acquire online; * to ground the trust required for electronic commerce and other online applications in the trust that has been built up over the years in the world of print publishing, and thereby to build confidence in electronic trust mechanisms; * to broaden our understanding of the scientific, engineering and business issues associated with top-level certification, and in the process to discover as many bugs and other problems as possible in existing public key standards and their implementations; * to use the privilege of a print publisher---to print and distribute anything that is not pornographic, seditious or a breach of copyright---to forestall plans by some governments to license CAs and to impose oppressive licensing conditions, such as the escrow of private confidentiality keys.
