Why Did We Make Security So Hard?
summary
The talk explains why everyday use of cryptographic tools (SSH, S/MIME, OpenPGP) is difficult and presents the Mathematical Mesh as a way to automate certificate, key and configuration management so machines, not users, perform tasks like installing and renewing keys.
