-<h1>Monkeysphere: an OpenPGP-based PKI for SSH</h1>
-
-<p>Ever thought that there should be an automated way to handle ssh
-keys? Do you know the administrators of your servers, and wish that
-SSH could verify new host keys from them automatically, based on your
-personal connections to the web-of-trust? Do you wish you could
-revoke and/or rotate your old SSH authentication keys without having
-to log into every single machine you have an account on?</p>
-
-<p>Do you administer servers, and wish you could re-key them without
-sowing massive confusion among your users (or worse, encouraging bad
-security habits among them)? Do you wish you could grant access to
-your users by name, instead of by opaque string? Do you wish you
-could rapidly revoke access to a user (or compromised key) across a
-group of machines by disabling authentication for that user?</p>
-
-<p>A group of us have been working on a public key infrastructure for
-SSH. <a href="http://web.monkeysphere.info">Monkeysphere</a> makes use
-of the existing OpenPGP web-of-trust to fetch and cryptographically
-validate (and revoke!) keys. This works in both direction:
-<code>authorized_keys</code> <em>and</em> <code>known_hosts</code> are
-handled. Monkeysphere gives users and admins tools to deal with SSH
-keys by thinking about the people and machines to whom the keys
-belong, instead of requiring humans to do tedious (and error-prone)
-manual key verification.</p>
-
-<p>We have <a href="http://web.monkeysphere.info/download">debian
-packages available</a> which should install against lenny (for i386,
-amd64, powerpc, and arm architectures at the moment), <a
-href="https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/monkeysphere">a mailing
-list</a>, and open ears for good questions, suggestions and
-criticism.</p>
-
-<p>If you have a chance to give it a try (<a
-href="http://web.monkeysphere.info/getting-started-user/">as a
-user</a> or <a
-href="http://web.monkeysphere.info/getting-started-admin/">as an
-admin</a>), it would be great to <a
-href="https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/monkeysphere">get
-feedback</a>.</p>
