Looks good. I love the picture. "The CA assures the receiver that the certificate was issued to a particular person (not necessarily a particular e-mail address)." In the case of cheap email certifications, the CA does *not* in fact verify the person. They only verify that the email address given can reply to a confirmation message. Of course, CAs can issue certificates that verify the person, but these are more expensive. (Except for http://www.cacert.org/ ) -- Stuart D.
