Kevin Mitnick @ /., mistakes the CA model with the “web of trust”. CA model was the transposition of the lobby-concept in Internet, WoT is the chain of trust that every human had with their pairs.

With the recent hacks on Certificate Authorities, I would count on SSL becoming obsolete in the future and being replaced with a new, more robust secure standard, since the “web of trust” is no longer a feasible model.

This chain of trust, never can be replaced, simply, has been stopped to be implemented after the PGP WoT model.
