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,



Vlad
