The problems with the WebPKI have received the attention by the
Internet security community when DigiNotar, a Dutch certification
authority, had a security breach in 2011 and in the same year a Comodo
affiliate was compromised. Both cases led to fraudulent issuance of
certificates and raise questions regarding the strength of the WebPKI
used by so many applications. Almost 2 years have passed since these
incidents and various standardization activities have happened in the
meanwhile offering new technical solutions to make the public key
infrastructure more resilient. The important question, however, is
which of the technical solutions will get widespread deployment? In
this document we compare the different technical solutions in an
attempt to engage the impacted stakeholders to trigger deployment
actions to improve the status quo. This document does not include any
recommendations what techniques to use.
