A proposal: "TOFU-TOTS". You know, like tater tots, but without
potatoes in them. Or rather, trust-on-first-use augmented by
trust-over-time-and-space.

I like this proposal, and I want to digest it more fully later, butit also seems like this complicates what's already the most complicatedpart of Gemini. Is this an optional special idea, like notaries, or areyou hoping this gets more widespread use?

Personally, I like the simpler ideas that have been used so far, combinedwith something like 5 year certs.

P.S. Can anyone explain or give me a link on TLS key rotation? How is itdifferent from changing certs?
