draft-msahli-ipwave-ieee1609-00.txt


The certificates are highly necessary for securing IP based 
communications in vehicle networks.

But the conditions of their use may prevent deployment.

- can I use an open source package to generate now a certificate with 
features of these drafts?

- is there a Certificate Authority that I can ask now to sign them?

- can I do these two things for free now?

Because in absence of these conditions, I am highly tempted to use 
openvpn and its associated free tools to generate my own CA and my own 
certificates to put in the cars I deal with.

I think in practice several people do just that.

I think it is a situation that needs to be prevented, because it means 
the drafts are not used.
