Certainly PGP and X.509 are two competing standards each having their
own pros and cons.
ITU-T X.509 is a certificate standard and it is not a certificate
repository standard. So, I didn't understand
how PGP is able to use X.509? It may be correct that PGP uses LDAP
repositories for storage/retrieval
but X.509 integration is an unknown for me.
Does anyone have any further info about PHP and X.509 integration?
cheers.
