Maybe "the Cause" needs to be taken up in academia, if it isn't already. There are serious problems with the ecosystem and empirical studies and models for the security infrastructure need further architecting. For instance, the EFF's Observatory, Phillip's criticism of the CA data, and the demands from academia and local, regional and national governments for publicly trusted roots leads me to think that "the problem" - if it is one - is only going to grow. I think more studies need to be done.

Citing wars now, not really?
