CCNs
Ron,
I'm not convinced I understand your concept of CCNs.
Are you thinking of CCNs that travel through the world to arrive
at a certificate user unannounced? This is the wandering anti-matter
which bothers me so much.
Alternatively, I can understand a data object like your CCN:
a) for communicating between two copies of a replicated database;
b) as one possible reply to an on-line test.
If cancellation notice is:
1) sucked from a server by the cert user, not given to him asynchronously, and
2) given its own validity interval
then I can understand how to process it. If it's wandering anti-matter, then
I see it as a violation of data-driven programming rules.
