....standard, the X.509[Com89] and its variants, provide only this binding. The X.509 standard, also, suffers from other serious problems in addition to its limited use. The most significant is ambiguity in the parsing of compliant certificates because of its use of the Basic Encoding Rules (BER)[Com88]. The encoding rules also require a great deal of space to implement, and the encoded certificates are usually large. Because of the limits and problems with the X.509 certificate standard, we use a subset of the proposed SDSI SPKI 2.0 certificate structure[EFRT97] Ell97] instead. The SDSI SPKI ....
