that has been my assertion for a couple years ... that at least 99.9999999%
of all cert events that go on in the world today are SSL events for
establishing session keys ...

Subject: Re: use of digital signatures and PKI
i have one potent, anecdotal data point: a friend of mine is a 3-letter
executive at one of the older/bigger PKI vendors. he surprised me in a
recent conversation, by mentioning that essentially none of his company's
customers are using PKI for signatures. actually, he may have said, "
_no-one_ is using PKI for signatures." he says that practically all of the
certs are being used for negotiating symmetric session-keys.
