We are investigating the use of public key certificates, either x509, SPKI
or other, to establish trust among two `strangers` (parties without a prior
long term relationship). We will appreciate any feedback, and are looking
forward to serious parties interested in pilot deployments. Please see our
site http://www.hrl.il.ibm.com/TrustEstablishment, and in particular the
paper: Access Control Meets Public Key Infrastructure, Or: Assigning Roles
to Strangers
