issuing certs to someone is trivial from both a server and a user endpoint - the user just gets a "click here to request your key" and hits ok on a few dialog boxes; the server simply hosts some pretty off-the-shelf cgi.

This sounds more like what I was looking for.

Probably someone has already pointed out the url to this, but if they did, I when I looked at it I was snowed under by verisign oriented shit, which assumes a large budget and ample administrator time for face to face contact with certified people, a very small number of clients, some hours of work by each client, a manual, user training, etc, and failed to grasp it.

Could you point me somewhere that illustates server issued certs, certification with zero administrator overhead and small end user overhead?

Also, I have many times heard that public key operations were surprisingly easy, and have been key administrator for several companies, and have unfailingly found that I was the only person capable of doing these operations at that company.
