The normal way to get a certified key would be to use an auxiliary program
which will be distributed with the freebie reference implementation of PEM
to generate your key pair.  You then go to your "organizational notary" (the
CA representative within your organization), or for residential usage to 
RSADSI, and give them your public key which they then certify.  All of the
details aren't worked out yet, but earlier versions of RFC 1114 discussed
sending both a paper copy of your public key (hash) and an electronic mail
copy, and getting both paper and electronic copies back.  This will be a
topic of a new RFC, supposedly...
