>> However, a cert seems almost certainly *not* to be IP. If anybody can alter, revoke or reissue a certificate then I agree it is common property to which attaches no meaningful notion of property rights.
If on the other hand only certain people can alter, revoke or reissue a certificate then it seems to me they have some sort of property rights in the certificate and from their point of view the certificate is their property and not everybody's property. Whether it is intellectual property or some other form of property or even some new form of property is I also agree debatable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [email protected]
