imo cool idea. about certs, i see it like that
1. user connect to hub
2. op register user
3. hub send generated cert
4. client receive it and save in with unique name
very abstract view, but it is sth ;p

doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose when a non-certified user can connect in the 1st place?

wholly on the ball toast. I don't think I even hit submit and you replied.

Maybe I am not understanding the purpose of a certificate based login. Is it not to dis-allow those who don't possess a hub-signed certificate?

we check some basic info (ie: cid) if user exists in database, and then check for certs.

Can an uncertified joiner have restricted access? Say they might be unable to view a userlist or make any kind of transfers until they are certified? A great opportunity to make sure they aren't sharing "co pyri ghted" or non-standard material before certifying.

Hey, a non registered user doesn't need a signed certificate. A certificate is required only for registered users ( including operators) . This replaces password based login, so normal users will be able to enter as normal users with any certificate. Certificates signed by the hub are only required for users who have certain rights above the regular users , and its purpose is to identify them . In other words, only accounts will have signed certs.

While I do not have any problems with the technical aspects of this idea, I really have to question its usefulness, and usability issues.
First of all, what is this trying to accomplish? Give me a couple of use-cases if you like.
Second, consider the total failure of PGP (and S/MIME) with e-mails, why do you think that is? What makes the situation different here?
