On the December issue of Scientific American there is an article by Thomas Beth, "Confidential Communication on the Internet". Lite on the technical side but good reading anyway.

This seemed to be a duplication of an X.509 certificate hierarchy: ``Hey, I don't know who you are but you have a seals which go back to a CA I trust.'' In this respect the information seemed unworthy of an article in SA. Perhaps I did not read the article closely enough? michael
No I think you did. The main point I guess was that there system acomplished athentication, as well as privacy. But like I said lite on the technical side. And I agree, it spent more time talking about what it encryption, public keys exchange, and certificates, than answering what diferent in their system than any of the otehr out there.
