-## External Validation Agent ##
-
-This is probably at the crux of the Monkeysphere vision for the future:
-
-* [Simon Josefsson proposed out-of-process certificate verification model in gnutls-devel](http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?group=gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel&article=3231)
-* [Werner Koch's dirmngr](http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/dirmngr/)
-* [GnuTLS wiki external validation](http://redmine.josefsson.org/wiki/gnutls/GnuTLSExternalValidation)
-* [Pathfinder PKI validation](http://code.google.com/p/pathfinder-pki/) (includes validation plugins for OpenSSL and LibNSS).
-
-## TLS transition strategies ##
-
-While [RFC 5081](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5081) is quite a while
-off from widespread adoption, it would be good to have an interim
-translation step.  This is analogous to the SSH work we've done, where
-the on-the-wire protocol remains the same, but the keys themselves are
-looked up in the OpenPGP WoT.
-
-Firefox extensions that deal with certificate validation seem to be
-the easiest path toward demonstrating this technique.  We should look
-at:
-
-* [SSL Blacklist](http://codefromthe70s.org/sslblacklist.aspx)
-* [Perspectives](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~perspectives/firefox.html)
-* there is another firefox extension that basically disables all TLS certificate checking.  The download page says things like "this is a bad idea" and "do not install this extension", but i'm unable to find it at the moment.
