I think a problem occurs when you have 20 billion of these certs (two for every person in the year 2010 or such). A simple hash into a table isn't going to cut it because you a single database (with replication?) isn't going to be possible.
BTW, at the rate that memory gets cheaper and smaller, it might be quite reasonable to have that single database fit alongside your daily appointments in your shirt-pocket daily organizer and e-mail terminal, in 2010. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Carl M.
