Thanks for that. The thing I feel most strongly about concerning this
type of "consent" and/or "identity" mechanism is that certification
mechanism should be open, decentralized, and entirely in the control of
the end users. Unlike certs, which usually require some centralize
authority for a signature, simple shared secrets can be created and
destroyed entirely at the behest of the user groups involved and require
no cost beyond that effort. 

(It is possible to have certs signed by some elected member of the
group, or to self sign, or to elect some local authority for the local
COT, however the entire cert discussion tends to add unnecessary
complexity I think.)
