Hi,

> ok.. a PKI that you can put your own keys up in? where? I want it! :)

I've sent a letter asking about it. There won't be a reply for a couple
days. The company I work for is collaborating with our largest competitor
in developing this solution. I guess that means they think there's going
to be money in it.

I would think someone with a name, legitmacy, like Tucows could provide a
solution. I mean, who is Versign and what do they do? I know the answer to
that question but the point is, what makes them an authority? Is it just
because they say they are?
