Integrated PKI certificates sounds great idea!!!

BTW postgresql now has plpython as a stored procedure language
and there is a python CA:

Python crypto just wraps C libraries like OpenSSL
so should be as efficient as possible.

Dunno, but it might be possible to do this as
a generic PostgreSQL facility that can be used
with OpenACS, by doing most of it right within
the database and just the minimum extra in the
web platform. Could reach "critical mass" quicker
as well as being a very optimal design.
