At this point, I feel compelled to point out that PKI is among the 
broken "privacy/security" technologies out there. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 
don't just subject Chandler users to the Verisign monopoly on 
certificates.

Instead, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE at least consider using something like 
<http://sconce.ics.uci.edu/cliques> (ported from OpenSSL to Crypto++, 
of course). Better yet, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider integrating this 
with <http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~keynote>.

All of this, of course, is assuming that there isn't time for Ben 
Laurie to finish his "capability security in Python" work before 
needing to ship something. If there is, then let's please consider 
Cliques + Ben's work.
