Adi Shamir says prepare for "post-crypto" world
http://j.mp/15hqeQf (Threatpost)
One way to help shore up defenses would be to improve--or replace--the
existing certificate authority infrastructure, the panelists said. The
recent spate of attacks on CAs such as Comodo, DigiNotar and others
has shown the inherent weaknesses in that system and there needs to be
some serious work done on what can be done to fix it, they said.

Some of us having been arguing for ages that the existing PKI needs to
be replaced with a different model, but cryptography per se will still
be increasingly important.
