Re: SRP vs PKI for authentication

[VAHUJA@aol.com]

David,
I understand your and Ofer's views. But lets view from another point. For the 
same storage network, we may potentially have PKI as the choice for 
authentication for one part, and SRP for another. There are ways to simplify 
built-in PKI for storage networks as being applied for FC security (I expect 
you dont need an RA or a CA, and the trust hierarchy is left to the 
customer). So for those networks that want to ONLY authenticate entities in 
storage networks, we may potentially have two schemes that "MUST"  be 
implemented.
