Again, what wireless USB talked about (last I read the specs!) was purely an *AUTHENTICATION* step ... which I'd exect to work by relying on the "access key retention" keystore mechanism. At which point the standard key management operations would handle all of this stuff. I'd really hate to see USB try to invent its own mechanisms in that area. As you may know, key management is "the" fundamental crypto security problem. It's not something a Linux kernel wants to have two bodies of code addressing; or a Linux distro wants to need two different toolsets to manage. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
