Naaah, just pulling your leg! I wanted to mention PASSWORD instead of LONGBUD.
For the record: PASSWORD was in the business of creating a security
infrastructure based on X.509. LONGBUD is using X.500 directory services
for  storing MHS routing info and using it dynamically.

And now we're at it: is there any documentation available on the PASSWORD
project? (outcome/final report?) Any other initiatives?
