Tae-Ho Lee, Christos Pappas, Paweł Szałachowski, Adrian Perrig · 2018
Motivated by the weaknesses of today's TLS public-key infrastructure (PKI), recent studies have proposed numerous enhancements to fortify the PKI ecosystem.

At the same time, the high deployment barrier makes the benefit-cost ratio tilt in the wrong direction, leading to disappointing adoption rates for most proposals.
