Please no.  PKI is a naive design and for all intents and purposes will
remain a pipe-dream.  All security relationships that is worth anything
is bilateral and no trusted third party is willing to accept enough risk
to warrent full trust.

Using public keys for auth is a good security model and the rest of x509
certs is just unnecessary overhead.  Let's not go there.  GPG is good
enough.
