Thank you Juan Ángel,<br>
<br>
We all agree with the end goal but we can't address the concerns
without answering some questions regarding the validation process.
For example, what do those traffic tickets look like in terms of the
signer? Does it only have a random identifier as described in the
2nd bullet of my previous letter? Does it say something like
"Officer John"? It is important to get some transparency on this so
the SMCWG can develop validation rules that would support this
feature.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Dimitris.<br>

<br>
This is indeed a legal requirement in eIDAS and we need to see
its applicability for S/MIME certificates.<br>
<br>
The problem we need to address is the fact that I can validate
myself to a CA with my physical presence and my official name
(Dimitrios Zacharopoulos), and ask for a Pseudonym to be
included in the certificate, but the process is unclear. Here
are some questions/concerns (not addressed explicitly to
Matthias, anyone can chime-in): <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Could I ask that my pseudonym is "Matthias Wiedenhorst" or
"Mickey Mouse"? How is THAT information validated so that it
is not misleading to Relying Parties?<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Can the pseudonym be a name/value that the CA decides, e.g.
"Pseudonym-482733812"? How is that helpful for Relying
Parties?<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0

Can a Relying Party ask the CA to reveal the real identity
of the person behind the pseudonym? If this is the case, how
is this protecting the real person for being in danger?<o:p></o:p></li>
