    I got this in my Linux Today newsletter for today:

             EBCVG: TEN THINGS I WISH THEY WARNED ME ABOUT PKI

             "In this paper we look at a number of pratical organizational
             issues that pure PKI suppliers often fail to mention..."

             COMPLETE STORY:
             http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,166k,1,48kz,m734,bfaz,g6x1

    My read of the actual article (which you can find directly at
    http://www.ebcvg.com/articles.php?id=271 if you want to avoid getting
    clicktracked) ... the actual article is much more scathing than this short
    summary would indicate. I don't think many folks would even try to
    implement PKI after reading this. So, as a rather lazy Linux admin I'm
    compelled to ask: do others who have swallowed the PKI pill lived to tell
    the story? Is it really this bad? What can be done better? Is anybody
    trying to do it better?
