Paraphrasing Bruce Schneier's well-known paper title, this paper picks up on a paradox. The paradox is that while certification is harder than it looks, it must be made amenable to the average user -- not the average cryptographer or mathematical science Ph.D. To see how that can be accomplished, based also on what several sources besides myself are declaring, please visit http://www.mcg.org.br/whycert.htm Cheers, Ed ______________________________________________________________________ Dr.rer.nat.
