Comment on One of the Most Alarming Internet Proposals I've Seen

Comments

Another stab at using 'Trusted proxies' huh? I thought we had learnt that lesson a while ago.. Can we move on please, internet?

The fact is "trusted proxies" are a real thing right now. Plenty of private networks require that you trust one or more private CA roots and all SSL are intercepted and filtered. It is sort of a pain to do. You have to use something like Microsoft System Center to push the root onto all managed computers.

This IETF proposal just formalizes it.
