-# Expanding the Monkeysphere #
-
-The Monkeysphere currently has implementations that support two
-popular protocols in use on the internet today:
-
- * SSH: Monkeysphere supports the OpenSSH implementation of the Secure
-   Shell protocol, for authenticating both hosts and users.
-   
- * HTTPS: Monkeysphere supports secure web traffic by allowing users
-   of Mozilla-based browsers (such as
-   [Firefox](http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox) or
-   [Iceweasel](http://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel)) to authenticate web
-   sites that are not authenticated by the browser's built-in X.509
-   verification.  This should work with any HTTPS-capable web server.
-   
-But there are many protocols and implementations on the 'net that
-could use the Monkeysphere for key-based authentication but currently
-do not.  Here are some examples of places we think it could be useful.
-If you can help with these (or suggest others), please pitch in!
-
- * HTTPS client authentication: web servers should be able to
-   authenticate clients that use asymmetric crypto.  That is, the
-   client holds an RSA secret key, offers a (potentially self-signed)
-   X.509 Cert to the server as part of the TLS handshake, and the
-   server verifies the key material and commonName or subjectAltName
-   in the cert via the OpenPGP web of trust.
-   
- * Other TLS connections: for example, SMTP services using STARTTLS
-   (server-to-server and client-to-server), IMAP or POP daemons (using
-   STARTTLS or a direct TLS wrapper), LDAP servers (or LDAPS), XMPP
-   connections (client-to-server and server-to-server)
-   
- * IRC connections: this could be at the TLS layer, or maybe via some
-   exchange with the NickServ?
-   
- * [OTR](http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr) client-to-client handshakes.
- 
- * Integration with
-   [OpenPGP Certificates for TLS (RFC 5081)](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5081)
-   -- TLS clients or servers who receive an OpenPGP certificate from
-   their peer should be able to ask some part of the Monkeysphere
-   toolchain if the particular certificate is valid for the
-   connection.
-   
- * [PKINIT](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4556) for
-   [Kerberos](http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/)
