And how is this a hack?

This looks like a cross between an advertisement and a press-release, barely warmed over.

hackaday is looking more & more like slashdot, but without the +5 funny

I think it’s running the clbuttic comment system.

@steve:

Who knows why the comment system does what it does. It doesn't even have a password field to enter your password, so even though you have a password, you have to 'activate' your comments each time.

this looks promising. good to see more open software packages that could be use to develop more secure software.

Hi Matt. It has been internally reviewed, but the public peer review process is just starting. There has already been some good feedback. I anticipate we’ll make significant changes before the 1.0 release based on open source contributors.

(PS – Why does this comment system convert everything to lower case?)

Now THAT is service! Second post is by one of the authors! Care to comment on the peer review process to date, Steve?

Hi William. Keyczar is just a software library, not a service. Your keys live wherever you want them to. Google is not holding keys in escrow or anything like.

Cheers.

Let Google keep the keys to the castle, direct traffic to the castle, AND charge to send it there?

Im in!
