If the certificate contains hashcash tokens, kind of (aka buy big hash collision generating machines). If the certificate is, say, a CA signed certificate doled out in small quantities via mixmastered email, or through the web via proxies, no. Nodes would be configured to accept a) minimum N bytes in hashcash certs generated in the last D days b) minimum K yodels in realcash certs, c) normal certs from the last D days from one of the T CAs, etc. Or, going the tarzan route, just stick the IP address in the cert and self sign. Anyway, there are a thousand and twelve ways to make identity non-free but still allow people to get their own identity anonymously and without cost. But thats all going waaaaay down the path, to be implemented even after stego transports ;) For < 1.0, hashcash certs would probably be fine. -jrandom
