RE: Safety of pre-shared keys? (Re: Reliable delete notifies)
Hugo,
In principle pre-shared keys could be strong, but in practice folks
tend to use weak keys, e.g., passwords. So, the question before us
is whether to remove support for pre-shared keys as a means of
trying to save people from themselves. Of course, many vendors are
eager to accommodate perceived user requirements, and so some may
elect to offer the facility anyway, despite any standards compliance
issues.
