-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I've just had a chance to go through the SDK MS is giving away for their ActiveX package. Interestingly, there's a little utility included for generating X.509 certs. The read.me that is included claims that the certs so generated don't have any real validity, as they're not linked to anything in the known universe (paraphrasing :-).
My question is, is this an otherwise usable cert? I'll be happy to give anyone interested a copy of the files (shellback.cer and shellback.spc) I generated, if they'd like to examine/validate them.
Send them to me and I'll have a look and comment on them if you like. I have a few tools for pulling apart X509/ASN.1 objects :-) eric -- Eric Young | Signature removed since it was generating AARNet: eay@mincom.oz.au | more followups than the message contents :-)
