Jim: I have embedded comments in the attached copy of CERTDIST. After reading and commenting, I wonder if a general signed directory attribute mechanism would be preferable. Such a mechanis would allow any attribute to be signed by the user for posting in his directory entry. I am not sure how searches would work in the directory with such an attribute. The directory entry could contain many attributes: sMIMEcapabilities emailAddress userCertificate whateverElse signedAttributes SIGNED ( sMIMEcapabilities ) SIGNED ( whateverElse ) Does this generalization make sence?
