According to Dan Nesset:
> In the case of security in distributed systems, there is already a standard
> that provides a foundation upon which can be built systems with the
> functionality of kerberos. This is the X.509 standard, which forms part of
> the X.500 directory service standard, and which uses public-key encryption to
> sign 'certificates' binding a user's name with a public-key. Implementations
> of X.509 are in approximately the same stage of development as kerberos,
> although slightly behind.
Who is a contact to obtain information on the current X.509 efforts?
