Nick,

I'll let Warwick reply to your questions, since he is the rapporteur for
the standard.  I just wanted to say hello, and that I have not seen you for
a long time.

(Maybe Warwick will suggest that you get his new book, which is "reviewed"
below by Hoyt Kesterson.)

Regards, -Rob-

Subject: fyi - warwick's new book

warwick ford's new book (co-authored with michael baum) has just been
published.
i have my copy. it does a good job covering those things we added to x.509
over
the last three years. it also covers the legal understandings that must be
reached for electronic commerce.

i'm not getting a commission but when someone asks about the standards, i
would
rather refer them to david's or warwick's books rather than the standards
themselves.

on my recommendation one person in my company has already purchased the
book. he
said that it was not yet on the shelves but had to be special ordered.

here's the info for ordering (i apologize for not having european ordering
information)
