The Internet Society is interested in the W3C Web Cryptography Next Steps workshop. We believe strongly in the need for more ubiquitous and usable cryptography as a means to improve overall trust in the Internet. We also believe deeply in the concept of open standards and supporting the development of those standards where possible. We believe that online identity and the technologies that support it are vital to the continued growth and development of the open global Internet, and the addition of support for hardware mechanisms to the existing Web Crypto API is vital to this space.
