  The S-HTTP proposal is rather weak wrt symmetric key encryption. I'm
interested any leads on Kerberized HTTP as we have a Kerberos database
of 60,000+ users which includes most of the people (students, faculty,
and staff) at the University of Michigan. Handing out public key pairs
to all these users will be difficult and we need a secured HTTP now,
so much of the S-HTTP paper--while very good for a public key
environment--is inapplicable here.
