[cabfpub] X.509 draft changes document

[Tony Rutkowski]

Hi Ben,

CA/B Forum participants might be interested
in the attached document proposing changes
to the ITU-T core X.509 document.  These
changes are being pursued by basically the
two academics who are the only current
participants in the group - one of whom also
chairs the group and approves his own work.
This material was just published after their
meeting.

Although few entities today actually use the
ITU-T version of X.509, it is cited extensively
by almost everyone for reference.  What is
occurring here, therefore, deserves some scrutiny.
In particular, one of the academics is inserting his
notion of an independent "trust broker" into the
model. The definition is rather fuzzy.  For example,
would the Forum constitute a "trust broker"?
