Well, perhaps we're going to all this trouble because (a) ASK doesn't do
digital
signatures, (b) it doesn't accommodate an Email environment where there is
no
connection between sender and recipient, and (c) it requires maintaining
pairwise
keys and state between each sender/recipient pair, rather than just
exchanging
public keys.  (The above comments based on checking out your web page a few
weeks ago.)
