PKIX1 definition of a certificate



 "(4) the term 'public key certificates' means a certification of
   the determination of the origin of encrypted information through
   verification of a persons public key by identifying the unique
   characteristics of the key;"

Should we alter PKIX-1 to have this as the definition of a 
PKIX public key certificate (assuming someone knows what 
the above means).

(One notes that the above would not seem to cover a PKIX
DSA or ECC-DSA certificate validating a DSA/ECC-DSA digital
signature.)
