What we need is the PKI equivalent of structured programming. PKIX is

you probably should not try.
If only there were a way to do that.
Let's consider a machine that has a set of simple operations that it can do,
like IF-GOTO and another language that did more complex things like
IF-THEN-ELSE. If we could make something that could take the complex language
and translate it into a set of the simpler statements reliably, then perhaps we
could solve that problem.
