Re: US Postal Public Key

At 10:39 AM 8/4/94 -0400, John Young quoted others as writing:

Richard Rothwell, Senior Director of Technology Integration for the USPS, officially released the news today in Quebec City, in a paper delivered to an international working group of the Information Security Committee of the American Bar Association's Section of Science and Technology, which has been developing guidelines for public key certification authorities.

What is the most important character in the above paragraph? The 's' in 'authorities.' It means no monopoly. DCF Who will be using the (now private) *Dutch* Post Office as (one of) *his* certification authorities.
