This does not appear to be a general requirement. Presumably
most people have other documents that would need protection from
intruders, including some that never leave the computer.
I.e. the IT-landscape has changed, while S/MIME has not.
Because there was no real need. ;-)
This is why IM kills S/MIME
Uuuh? No-one of my private or business communication partners are using
instant messaging with me. There's no real need. Either we're using
phone or e-mail.
Streaming of media indicates that the bandwidth considerations once
considered as crucial are not that valid anymore.
See above. E-Mail is asynchronous (store-and-forward) by nature. The
off-line usage together with S/MIME fits this scheme very well.
But almost nothing else on the Internet does.
Did I ever propose using S/MIME for anything else than store-and-forward
things?
Secure e-mail must be destroyed, or to be more correct;
replaced by something that actually works for ordinary people.
Oh, come on! You simply want to sell something new. That's not something
I can take serious.
Ciao, Michael.
