Can YURLs be deployed today?
Yes, you can deploy the server side of YURL technology alongside existing PKI technology. In this case, your web site will be accessible using either a YURL or a PKI URL. To get the security advantages of YURLs, the client side of the technology must also be used. Free implementations of the client side are available. Deploying the client side of the protocol can be as simple as installing a library. No changes to the client code are required. A YURL is compatible with existing URL APIs. This feature makes YURL technology well-suited for use in web services.
