It is intended -to support any protocol which needs public-key authentication or -binding between public keys and real-world entities. Current -implementations include mutual authentication (both server and client) -for SSH and authentication of servers for HTTPS. The technique is -resistant to X.509's inherent single-issuer policy bias, allows use of -a single key for a host offering multiple services, and handles -initial contact, re-keying, and revocation better than OpenSSH's -traditional key continuity management (KCM) scheme. It also requires -no changes to on-the-wire protocols, and is transparently -interoperable with existing tools, so the migration path to the new -PKI is smooth (and encouraged). Discussion will include the merits -and drawbacks of the Monkeysphere, as well as its relationship to -in-band measures (such as the Server Name Indication (SNI) TLS -extension and the subjectAltName (sAN) extended attribute for X.509v3 -certificates) which provide some pieces of similar functionality.
