Re: [TLS] Straw poll on TLS SRP status

IIRC you can use certs, but the CA needs a license. In TLS it works  
pretty well, because usually a website gets a cert from someone on  
Explorer's list, so as long as they get a license, everyone is fine.

With IKE it's a little more booby-trapped, because lots of  
organizations issue their own certificates.
