updated generalized certificate proposal
Over the weekend, I updated my http://www.clark.net/pub/cme/html/cert.html
to reflect the discussion on this list. In particular, I added:
1. optional means for establishing validity [re-validation or CRLs] in
addition to an effective date and an expiration date.
2. certificate pointers for both Certifying-key and Signed-key:
Certifying-key: pointing to the certificate which gives this key the
authority to say what it's trying to say
Signed-key: pointing to the self-signed certificate which gets revoked if
the key is ever compromised
Does anyone see anything else I should add to the generalized certificate?
