Re: Articulation of PGP point of view?

Ed,

        The lack of explicit means of expressing certification policies, 
the lack of rigorous name space management, and the lack of a 
certificate revocation architecture probably will hinder use of PGP in 
the commercial environment.  The Arpanet (really Internet today)/UUCP 
analogy may be a reasonable one.  Most commercial organizations I am 
aware of are joining the Internet, with its global, unique address space 
(which is managed by a central authority with regional delegation) and 
with its global, unique domain name space (also reflecting a single root 
with distributed, delegated management).  I'm quite happy with that 
analogy!
