I've (re)sent this to the list as no-one else has noted it <g> Possibly a game-changer in the (academic) 802.1x space ... http://www.project-moonshot.org/diary http://www.painless-security.com/blog/
I did see that come in, and was going to look into it more deeply tonight; if it is -- as it appears to be -- a framework for globally federated identification/authentication, then it will probably hit the same walls (of theory, not merely implementation) which other earlier attempts have hit: privacy and non-correlation being prime among them. It's orthogonal to 802.1x, though, unless anyone's shipping code to hook a dot1x server to it as you would, say, a Radius server. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
