Hello,
Without the will to throw buzzwords to the list, but there are works on
block-chain that may be relevant to consider.
Best regards, Laurent.

Subject: [Anima] Autonomic Registry
Dear WG members,
According to the presentation in the NMRG session, the ANIMA model relies
in a registry which seems to be centralized. I think it does not suit
autonomicity as well as a distributed registry would, so different definition
and implementation strategies can appear in the future. In order to be a
widely accepted model, which I think would be really useful, ANImA should
support different kinds of registries. Please let me know if you have plans to
consider it. Thank you.
Generically, ANIMA devices get a domain certificate. Today, practically all
certificate management solutions are centralised, with a central CA, and
several RAs (Registration Authorities). So for now this is the working model.
And a registrar is logically an RA in this model. Given that certificate
interactions are infrequent, and given that this PKI model is very well
developed, I think this is a reasonable starting point.
We have had suggestions to look at peer to peer trust models, and I agree that
philosophically this would be even better. However, such models are not widely
used today. My personal opinion is that we could well support a different
enrolment procedure, using a peer-to-peer trust model in the future; the ANIMA
reference model is generic and modular enough.
But my priority is to get the current solution, using standard PKI methods off
the ground before going there.
Do you have a concrete proposal? Would be interesting to discuss.
Michael
Regards,
Pedro
