Originator-ID-Asymmetric and X.500

1994-03-11 13:13:00

(These difficulties may be an argument to strongly discourage using
just an Originator-ID-Asymmetric field unless you know the recipient
already has the certificate.)

I want to think about it some more, but I am beginning to think
that the requirement to have this alias should be included in the
StrongAuthenticationUser object class. But until I understand how 
aliases work across ADDMDs, I'm not sure just how to proceed.

Let me ask the following question: Why have an
Originator-ID-Asymmetric field at all when an Originator-Certificate
workds just fine?  Why was it put in the standard?  It is an
implementor's nightmare.
