Hi,

 

Has anyone tried to make Factotum use Identity based encryption?  See http://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/.  The idea would be to make it a private key generator.  Then everything on the network could use a URI to encrypt stuff.  PKI would still be needed to secure identity of the PKG but it still seems like a nice fit.

 

 

Just curious…

 

 

Thanks,
