ssl-site's Issues

Transparent Logs and TUF: clarify compromise recovery

From @FiloSottile:

"About compromise recovery, our story is very simple: there is always a client involved and that client has an update mechanism (Go releases, for us), so if there is a compromise we'd roll the tree key, and make a release."

"...I think most TL systems can build PEP 458-level compromise recovery over their existing software update channel."

Turn TUF/TL comparison into blog post

@mnm678 this is a request to turn "Compromise detection vs resilience: contrasting Transparent Logs and The Update Framework" into an lab blog post (a new file in _posts/), ideally this weekend. :-)

(And then to publicize it on the TUF mailing list, in the TUF roadmap issue, and in the PEP 458 Discourse thread.)

(And in case you think "argh, redoing the formatting", let me introduce you to the joys of pandoc!)

Transparent Logs and TUF: clarify removing trust

From @FiloSottile:

"Also, we think about auditing in terms of trust, rather than just compromise: a major goal for us was to make sure the community wouldn't have to trust Google blindly."

"I think that's what you put under the umbrella of third party auditing and immutable log, but I think of those as means to an end, which is removing trust."
